Nnenna Freelon....


"Be sure to check out Nnenna Freelon... very hip music"
Aretha Franklin

"Freelon's voice is sumptuous as sculpted honey.... from a woman who fills every second with grace."
Ken Micaellef, Amazon.com

"...there is no doubt that Freelon has now positioned herself in the very top echelon..."
Don Heckman, Los Angeles Times

"Freelon had no problem charming the audience with a bright, rhythmically infectious performance."
Mike Joyce, The Washington Post

"Freelon makes each song such a personal statement that they all seem fresh and new..."
Steve Jones, USA Today

"Nnenna Freelon possesses that rarest of qualities... she makes (standards) sound freshly minted, refreshingly new... her phrasing is original, surprising... she mines the (melodies) for new and hidden meaning... and imaginative spirit that reaches out and bubbles over..."
Robert L. Daniels, Variety
