What “they” are saying:

"This is the music she was born to sing...I urge you, no I beg you to see this show!" – Stu Hamstra, CabaretHotlineOnLine.com

"When was the last time a jazz singer delivered one liners worthy of a stand-up club? When was the last time a performer captured your heart with simple sincerity? But, it was her vibrant voice and impeccable musicianship that defined the evening." – Bill Van Sant, Essex Journal

"A relaxed and engaging alto that one could listen to for hours with a sweet sound that recalls Carol Sloane." – John Hoglund, Backstage Magazine

"Matsuki brings out the best of Ella and can be graded as the current "First Lady of Song" – Bea Smith, Essex Journal

"Matsuki's new show not only represents her best work to date, it is also one of the finest shows I've seen anyone deliver this year. The most striking element of the evening is the remarkable quality of her interpretations – each based on a chosen point of view, devoid of extraneous frills or gestures. There are times when I absolutely love what I do. This is one of them." – Roy Sander, Backstage.com

"...WOW, I was absolutely floored. Feminine, sure, unusual, mature, incredibly tasteful and tasty, extremely entertaining, outstanding singing and a band that understands what accompaniment means. – Betsyann Faiella, Savoy Communications
