stLouISTKat Edmonson is of a piece with jazz’s best singers. There is also something immensely enchanting in how she presents - an unfeigned innocence, a sincerity totally integrated inside and out. In style and manner, she reminds Blue Strawberry of Blossom Dearie, with a wonderful sweetness alongside a completely unforced hipness.
"Hearing Edmonson makes it virtually impossible to do anything but stop and listen." - NPR
“Edmonson’s voice swells and dips and weaves with effortless precision…relaxing into the style of jazz greats. ”-The Austin Chronicle
“Edmonson delivers each lyrical line with such sensitivity and thoughtfulness as to rival any classic jazz songstress.”- All About Jazz
