"Fredette's delivery is refreshingly direct and expressive throughout; her warm alto conveys the wit and calm of the fully-formed grown-up who knows whereof she sings.  The music on 'No Sad Songs for Me' will delight anyone who appreciates vocal jazz at its highest level and in its most conducive setting." - Dr. Judith Schlesinger, AllAboutJazz.com

No matter whether she is getting to the heart of a ballad or swinging her forever off, Fredette respects and finds the essence of each lyric that she sings.  Her voice is full of warmth and intimacy, lending a feeling of knowing worldliness to her singing.  Vocal jazz at the highest level of execution requires a combination of musicality, timing, phrasing, creativity and intelligence.  Carol Fredette has an abundance of these ingredients, and they all shine through on No Sad Songs for Me." - Joe Lang,  Jersey Jazz
