Cellar Live
“No doubt, this is one of the finest jazz vocal recordings of the year, and should be a required part of any serious jazz curriculum.”
— Lesley Mitchell-Clarke, The WholeNote
“Taylor’s voice is full of power and intent, and her phrasing wrings every last emotional drop out of each Ellingtonian phrase.”
— Lesley Mitchell-Clarke, The WholeNote
“Sung with the relaxed patience of a lady who’s lived a full life.”
— George W. Harris, Jazz Weekly
“There is no gratuitous, ill-informed scat-singing here – just superb musicianship, flawless and fluid interpretation, as well as a voice that reflects a lifetime in jazz.”
— Lesley Mitchell-Clarke, The WholeNote
