"Four Voices blending together and just swinging like mad!" --- Susan Stamberg, NPR

"The Uptown Vocal Jazz Quartet ultimately makes a particularly demanding aspect of jazz performance come alive." - Mike Joyce, The Washington Post

"If there's a space for another vocal-jazz ensemble on the national scene, [Uptown Vocal Jazz Quartet] is poised to claim it." --- Joel E. Siegel, The Washington City Paper

"The Uptown Vocal Jazz Quartet may not have invented this vocal style, but they perform it with the confidence that suggests they did. The artistry and professionalism that oozes from these uptowners places them in the game on their own terms." --- Cadence Magazine
