"Not just her best album but one of the finest vocal jazz collections in years." (John Lewis, Time Out, 19 April 2000)
"One of the most gifted and original singer/songwriters in today's jazz world" (Ian Carr, BBC Music Magazine)
"Tobin's range and control precisely serve her materials….she gracefully balances simplicity with her ability to improvise and swing." (John Fordham, Guardian)
"Great timing is a gift given to few and one that Tobin possesses, along with an exciting tendency to take the darker path." (Mike Bradley, The Times)
"It is tempting to try and categorize musicians and singers. Jazz is in its 2nd century and there are so many references on disc. Sure, I can hear little phrases in Christine Tobin's work that remind me of other singers. But I accept that as inevitable. But what draws me to her is her sound. Her voice is unique and she seems to have carved a little niche of her own. No mean feat in today's Jazz scene. I really like what she does and. I find myself listening to what she says I'm reminded that the voice is the primary source of all music. She has a great instrument in her and I'm intrigued by what she might do next. I hope she keeps it simple and pure." Mike Figgis (Film director, including Leaving Las Vegas) |
