"With her tenth album as a leader, “In the Sundance”, Judy Niemack pays tribute to the healing power of the sun and the resilience of the human spirit. Accompanied by an all-star band, she presents fresh interpretations of jazz standards, French and Italian Pop songs, including “How About You”, Brazilian composer Ivan Lins’ “Sails”, Bruno Martino’s “Estate” and a sparsely crafted duo on “Beautiful Love” with bassist Rufus Reid. Other highlights include arrangements of classics by George Gershwin, Michel Legrand, Henry Mancini, and Dubin and Warren’s rarely heard “Summer Night”, plus music by Richie Beirach and Jeanfrançois Prins featuring Judy's lyrics. French Pop artist Laurent Voulzy’s “Le Soleil Donne” (In the Sundance), celebrates mankind’s equality under the sun and the hope for a better tomorrow."

“Judy Niemack has been one of the most underrated jazz vocalists of her generation, and this brilliant effort should awaken critics who have unjustly overlooked her consistently excellent work.” Ken Dryden, All Music Guide
“She sings like an angel, or at least like an angel who's heard Basie and Miles: she's got intonation that whole choruses would kill for, and a voice that never loses its soft sheen even at hot tempos and high volume. She's one of the few singers who actually should sing scat solos, since she thinks so much like a horn player." Neil Tesser - Downbeat
