Contemporary Fusion Reviews:
Extraordinary, explosive jazz vocals Ellen Edwards – A NEW YORK SESSION: Ellen’s very extraordinary explosive jazz vocals are a brand new experience for me, and a most pleasant one it is… I give Ellen and her stellar cast of players a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED rating, with an “EQ” (energy quotient) score of 4.99.

Roots Music Report
…”Her silky smooth vocals cover many moods. She’s bluesy and forceful on a number like “The Queen’s Bridge,” and she's wistful and ethereal with a ballad like “Blue and Green.” Brecker’s trumpet shines in “Let The Fire Grow” as Edwards sings “there’s a voice in my heart, and it won’t go away.” Latin bossa rhythms in “Over There” have engaging appeal. While the album ends all too quickly, it will certainly help Edwards build a legion of fans as she expands her horizons beyond Atlanta…

…Treating this like a major label session from back in the day, this jazz vocal set is going to blow your mind at every turn. If you want the wax blown out of your ears, this is the place to check out. Killer stuff that'll remind you why you hate TV talent shows…

KEYS and CHORDS
…”Opener "Over There" is a love story with a samba rhythm, reminiscent of Jobim. "Let the Fire Grow" is a jazz waltz with a muted trumpet. Then comes "Love’s on My Side," in which she sings not to fear love. "Blue and Green" is a soft track, after which "The Queen’s Bridge" has fun influence. A great return for Ellen!.”
By Patrick Van de Wiele
JPS Music Blog
… “The album kicks off with the swift, waltz of "Over There," before slowing down for the bluesy tone of "Let The Fire Grow." The gentle piano ballad "Blue And Green" allows her wonderful vocals to soar, before closing out her new release with the fun, upbeat groove of "The Queen's Bridge."

Ellen Edwards: A New York Session
“…Edwards has a pleasing vocal sound, rich and mature. The music is melodic and the lyrics of these songs are intelligent, of the day, and positive… Although she has recorded CDs before, Ellen Edwards is a new name to me and I will seek out those earlier albums.”
