Outsiders insiders

"Emily Saunders has produced an excellent collection here that makes good the promise shown on her debut-combining musicality, vocal technique and heartfelt writing with a high quality band. The lyrics push this towards a more grown up audience, but the use and mastery of rhythm gives it a chance to reach beyond the narrower confines of a jazz audience if sensitively promoted. For the sake of the profile of our music, not to mention simple natural justice, let's hope it gets the success it so richly deserves. Highly recommended".

"The oft-noted influence of New Yorker Gretchen Parlato remains plain, but Saunders pushes hints and understatements even further toward abstract sound here, and the set balances pop-catchy hooks, seductively mazy melodies, strong instrumental solos and vocal virtuosity that often mimics drum-patterns in ways that make it a startling departure from Cotton Skies".
