Wall Street! What a fine record. Great singing, good tunes, a band that cooks. i think there's plenty of airplay just waiting for this cd to get out.

CBC’s “After Hours” named “The Wall Street Sessions” in their Top Ten Outstanding Recordings of the year.
The work, the will, the passion, Joani is all the things that inspire. Part of her magic is her fine control of nuances; vocals that range from a whisper to a whip.
The Toronto Globe and Mail
It’s even money whether Joani Taylor will win a Juno Award Sunday night. But there’s no question the West Vancouver jazz singer’s album Wall Street Sessions is worthy of recognition.
