LA JAZZ SCENE
“Lisa’s life, and this recording, are testaments to the human and artistic spirit, and as such this recording inspires in ways that she couldn’t have known it would back in the day.”
- Jonathan Widran

“Ten tracks of beautifully warm, velvety vocals from someone who clearly has studied the greats and found her voice within them.”
- Fiona Ross
JAZZ IN EUROPE
“Lisa Rich has a new website, this amazing recording, and a forthcoming CD release party. Perhaps she will rise like the aerialist in her album’s title track, and pick up her career where she left it three decades ago.”
