Liner notes:
"This is Brigitte's debut album and very impressive it is too. When a new singer comes on the scene it is tempting to compare her with others that have gone before if only to try and inform the listener what to expect in terms of style and content.
In this case think of the sound of Norma Winstone, the groove of Flora Purim, the swing of Annie Ross and a dash of Anita O'Day in the phrasing...let's face it they don't come much better. But that is not to say that Brigitte is in any way derivative. She has found her own 'voice' and style and chosen a really lovely mix of songs to record. [...] All in all this CD is for lovers of good vocal jazz and one you will want to hear again and again." Lee Gibson - from the liner notes
