"This is one of the very best jazz albums ever! Ernestine's vocals are proof that she can cook! The opener "Jazz Street" glows with soulful feeling. "A Night In Tunisia" is the definitive version (and there have been quite a few versions recorded). There is even a duet titled "Monte Carlo Nights" that is the most satisfying version yet. "One Child" is a glorious ballad that builds into a tribute. "This Could Be Dangeous" smoulders with deep vocal tones. Every song is brilliant. One of the best CD's in my collection!!!"
A great blues/ jazz singer

"On this cd Ernestine offers up an ear feast of jazz, blues, and popular music. Some jazz purists may be put off by the choice of material and background vocals. You can definitely feel the hand of Ouincy Jones in this production (although he is not the producer, but it is on his Qwest label). Some standouts are Night in Tunisia (This is one of the best sung versions of this song), the bluesy, Wrong number, the gospel feel of, One Child and the finger snapping, This Can't be Love. Ms. Anderson has a strong, clear, soulful voice with a blues sensibility. The production is top notch. Highly recommended."
