off her almost four octave range.
One critic states, “Listen to the honey – no molasses – of her tone... Jus (...) Mehr anzeigent when
you cozy into her velvet sound, she growls out a line that is motivated purely by
swing. Phrasing around the rhythm and landing in the pocket, she swings, and
swings hard.”
