What The Press Is Saying About Susie Meissner I'll Remember April

“Singer’s Singer: With a perfect assist from trumpeter Brian Lynch leading a stellar sextet, Susie Sounds wonderful. Her pure straight-ahead singing will have you satisfied throughout her programme of 13 standards. “Never Let Me Go” is sung as solid as I have ever heard it. Its prayer like rendition is most unique. There are a pair of Antonio Carlos Jobim songs that are just divine: “Dreamer” (Lees) magically and romantically creates a most mellow amorous mood. On “Meditation” (Gimbel) Ms.Meissner adds charm and grace unheard of till now. The pair of Johnny Mercer songs are wonderful: “I Remember You” (Schertzinger) and “I’m Old Fashioned (Kern) both contain a gentle light swing from start to finish. They are certain to please you. Irving Berlin is represented with a pair of his grandest songs: “How deep is the Ocean” and “They Say Its Wonderful.” On the first song Susie dramatically whisks and moves the song along to a proper justified conclusion. The second song is sung as a romantic ballad. It’s quietly sung just once but the message remains. The title song (DePaul/Ray/Johnston) makes me add: I’ll also remember Susie Meissner.” Dan Singer; In Tune International Magazine, July 2009
