"Joe Pass, the premiere Jazz guitarist, said of Mimi Fox, that she can play anything she wants. Her ability was evident to Joe
Pass, as it is to anyone experienced in Jazz music who listens to her playing. In this set
she reminds me of Jim Hall with her perfect timing and close playing with other instruments. The
laid back style is exactly the mood intended. On her other albums where she plays variations of rock songs like "Kicks" by
Paul Revere and the Raiders, or R&B riffs with a B3 Organ, she
can really rip into the music, and her bebop tunes are a wonder to hear. She is a genius, and each album is a special treat, tailored to her expression, because what she plays
is what she means to play, and she has that gift to entertain
just by playing."
