If you close your eyes and listen to her vocals, you may think the spirit of Edith Piaf has been awakened, especially when she sings in French. Her tone is warm, mellow, and consistent, and just when you think you've heard her entire vocal range she surprises you with some fuller voiced notes. Even if you aren't familiar with the entire song list, Ross' execution is musically satisfying, making engagement easy. Suzanna Ross offers a first-rate musical journey..."

Sound Guardian<p>Suzanna Ross captivates the listeners of this album with her easy approach to jazz singing, warm voice and refined performances.... she has gained the ability to make her performances look like storytelling, although she always leads them all to jazz.

Suzanna Ross has emerged as one of the most versatile jazz vocalists on the scene... Ross' vocals are powerful yet tender with a unique, fast vibrato. "My Favorite Things," "Over the Rainbow," and "Mr. Wonderful" have been recorded dozens of times but Ross adds a deeply personal touch that makes these covers unforgettable. Ross' marvelous vocal vibrato makes every nuance special. On Serge Gainsbourg's "C'est petits riens" Ross evokes the spirit of a true French chanteuse... A timeless jazz vocal recording fit for music lovers of all kinds."

"There is a kind of smooth flowing magic about all these pieces... Suzanna has a deceptively simple approach to jazz singing, giving straight readings mainly but employing a method of putting the lyrics across in a story telling fashion. The nineteen forties movie theme Laura is a standout track with Ms Ross singing it slowly, in melancholy, almost ghostly mood, conjuring up the film atmosphere perfectly. She sings in both English and French on Over The Rainbow but never deviates from a story telling manner. This is a straight ahead, unpretentious set of vocals with rhythm and very enjoyable to listen to." </p>suzannaross.comtag:suzannaross.com,2005:Post/62275882020-04-07T02:43:22-12:002020-04-07T02:43:22-12:00"She had me at Bewitched - a true master class in jazz eclecticism." - The JW Vibe<p>SUZANNA ROSS Is Bewitched* </p>
<p>February 25, 2020, Jonathan Widran </p>
<p>She had me at “Bewitched!” Not the Songbook standard that Suzanna Ross’ clever album title humorously references, but a snappy, sexy and swinging bass-vocal driven twist on the classic TV show theme, little heard lyrics and all... the proverbial map musical goodies in store over the course of 15 tracks... With Bewitched*, Ross has created not only an engaging debut but a true master class in jazz eclecticism. </p>suzannaross.comtag:suzannaross.com,2005:Post/61398072020-04-03T10:50:00-12:002020-04-07T02:47:43-12:00JAZZIZ Song of the Day - Ces Petits Riens sung by Suzanna Ross<p><a contents="Jazziz Song of the Day - Suzanna Ross singing Ces petits riens" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.jazziz.com/song-of-the-day-suzanna-ross-ces-petits-riens/">Jazziz Song of the Day - Suzanna Ross singing Ces petits riens</a></p>suzannaross.comtag:suzannaross.com,2005:Post/62258302020-04-01T10:40:00-12:002021-03-08T01:18:21-12:00This kind of vocal jazz puts the "ultra" in "ultra cool" -- splendid debut release - Contemporary Fusion Reviews<p><a contents="Impressive Versatile Jazz Vocal Debut Suzanna Ross, Contemporary Fusion Reviews" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://contemporaryfusionreviews.com/impressive-versatile-jazz-vocal/">Impressive Versatile Jazz Vocal Debut Suzanna Ross, Contemporary Fusion Reviews</a></p>suzannaross.comtag:suzannaross.com,2005:Post/62240072020-03-25T10:50:00-12:002020-04-07T02:50:25-12:00Midwest Record - Knows Her Way Around a World of Songs<p>"This jazz vocalist knows her way around a world of songs ....

A New York-based vocalist who has performed at many jazz and cabaret venues, Ms. Ross gives one the impression that she could sing nearly anything and sound quite comfortable... The program begins with a medium-tempo waltz version of Kenny Rankin’s “Haven’t We Met,” the theme from the television show “Bewitched” (which swings joyfully and has solo spots for each of the instrumentalists) and Antonio Carlos Jobim’s “Dreamer” which is given a tender interpretation.</p>
<p>The playful “Ces petits riens,” a dramatic “Parlez-moi de lui,” “For me formidable” and even part of “Over The Rainbow” have Suzanna Ross singing quite effectively in French. She revives “Mr. Wonderful” (a nice song that should be sung more often), takes “Summer Me, Winter Me” at a faster pace than usual, and excels during an arrangement of “My Favorite Things” that alternates between ¾ and 4/4 time. </p>
<p>There are no throwaways on this set which includes a slow and somewhat touching version of “Laura,” the happy “Come to Baby, Do,” “Over The Rainbow,” the Australian rock song “Boomerang Baby” (which is given a groove reminiscent of “Fever”), “There’s A Kind Of Hush,” and the philosophical art song “Live For Life.” </p>
<p>Suzanna Ross is heard in winning form through her enjoyable set, an easily recommended CD that gives listeners the perfect opportunity to discover the warm singer. </p>
