CD ReviewsFresh and Classy N. Atilla Telli | San Francisco, CA | 09/12/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Never have I heard such deftly handled remake of folk songs. The original lyrics were interpreted into English with utmost care and surrounded with mesmerizing new music. The band is absolutely first class. Not only they are a rocking jam band as well as tenacious jazz practitioners but they also seamlessly weave these with operatic nuances. Their sound was both superbly tight but also magically improvisational when they chose it to be.
Sertab is in a league of her own. Her voice is crystalline and strong with a laser-like focus. You always knew she had so much reserve left but she never used it for easy effect. Bravo! " |
