'Makes almost any material sound special' The Guardian 'One of our finest singers regardless of category' Sunday Times 'Had I not been sitting about three feet away from the action I would have suspected some kind of electronic trickery because the arrangement was so complex, the timing so nifty, and Ms Dankworths vocal control so exquisite' The Observer
