"While I compared her sound to Stacey Kent and Norah Jones [in an earlier review], there is a pronounced Ella Fitzgerald influence [here]. She is an accomplished scat singer, with an abundance of ideas, superb pitch and driving swing ... Her accompanying musicians are superb throughout with Roy Hargrove playing well-designed trumpet solos, Joel Frahm bursting with inspiration on tenor, Spike Wilner sparkling on piano, Philip Kuehn providing soulful solos on bass, and Joseph Saylor firing up the proceedings on drums ... At 26 years old, Cyrille Aimée has an impressive start to her career. With her abundant talent and ever-widening musical horizons, she could easily become a major jazz star of this and the next generation.
