Press / Reviews
“She's played some of the premier New York City clubs... and does so again with class and impeccable taste. If you close your eyes, you may think the spirit of Edith Piaf has been awakened, especially when she sings in French... a first-rate musical journey."” - Ellen Woloshin
— Music Connection
“"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... wonderfully fresh interpretations... not only an engaging debut but a true master class in jazz eclecticism."” - Jonathan Widran
