"Abair is a fine singer and an outstanding sax player, and she is backed by a band of rare power and finesse ... Equally happy playing funk, soul, blues or rock, they display an uncommon level of dynamism and energy. If you like joyous, upbeat blues-rock, with large chunks of old-fashioned soul and funk, all played with technical prowess and emotional power, you'll love The EastWest Sessions.".
