AllMusic:
Texas-based singer Kellye Gray made her recording debut on this CD. She displays a mature style & a deep expressive voice that is sometimes reminiscent of Sarah Vaughan (especially on parts of "How Long Has This Been Going On" & "Since I Feel For You"). Gray is at her best when she is bending notes or interpreting bossa-nova numbers. Her scatting is not quite up to that level & when she imitates a trumpet on the overlong "All Blues," it quickly evolves from being cute to becoming tiresome. Backed by a superior rhythm section (including pianist Dave Catney & guitarist Dwight Sills with guest appearances from saxophonist Warren Sneed), Kellye Gray is mostly in fine form for this date. If she could be a bit more subtle in her vibrato & in her emotional climaxes ("How Insenitive" gets a bit ridiculous) her music would grow in value.
Amazon review:
I stumbled on this CD by accident years ago in a used CD shop & have played it no less than 1,000 times since then. Why doesn't anyone else sing like this & have this good of a band with the artistic purity of original movement? I haven't found anyone close to as good & pure to the art since then until discovering Diana Krall. Take a listen & if your a purist, you will buy it. Miles Davis' All Blues with vocals & scat is worth the price of the CD alone. I was out here buying the 1997 release & couldn't believe this 1 had not been reviewed before. I hope I turned someone onto this great artist!
