"Silver’s....voice is like pure sterling. Her phrasing is exquisite, her clarity and enunciation on par with the great Jo Stafford and her breath control – a talent so often, and so wrongfully, overlooked – rivals Sinatra’s.” - Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes.com
The highlight was Silver’s captivating interpretation of “The Meaning of the Blues.” Ken Franckling, JazzTimes.com, Review of Tanglewood Jazz Cafe Performance (9/5/10)
