"She Said reflects an ongoing ambition by NYJO to re-shape the gender mix not only of its own projects but jazz as a whole. So this vibrant recording privileges the work of four contemporary composers (...) but also signposts pathfinders like Lil Hardin, whose 'Struttin' with some Barbecue' features Alice Leggett (her alto has also illuminated the work of Mark Lockheart)".

"Vibrant homage to female jazz composers old and new: The ensemble's programme aimed at remixing the genre's gender balance has resulted in an ambitious and arresting LP ... Along with NYJO, there are guest soloists, including Nikki Iles as both composer and guest pianist, and Norma Winstone as lyricist and guest singer. The most arresting pieces are new works by Laura Jurd, Issie Barratt, Yazz Ahmed and Iles. Each brings her own individual approach to the ensemble - tone colours, textures, rhythmic patterns. It's a long way from the old "big band"".
