âIf you like your singers bold and sassy, Grace Testani delivers on both counts!â JAZZTIMES MAGAZINE

"...Her version of Kenny Barron's Morning Sunshower is a gem. Recommended Listening!â CANADIAN RADIO

"...A risk-taking singer with an impressive range and an appealing, slightly husky voice...Testani gives us reason to be optimistic about the future of jazz singing.â LA JAZZ SCENE

"... She showed that she has listened well. She bent notes, stretched phrases, scatted and melismatized with the best of them." NY POST

"... Grace is equally comfortable singing standards or mainstream jazz instrumentals with lyrics. Her sense of the jazz tradition, her respect of the lyric, her interpretations and improvisation, and her ability to "swing" in any situation, make her performances always a unique and enjoyable experience."
