"China Blue" is this year’s Valentine’s music - Roger Friedman, Fox News
“The real thrill here is the way her rich, liquidy voice sails over the songs” - Falling James, LA Weekly
“Her voice has a remarkable range — lower than you thought a woman could sing and as high as any soprano at the Met. And every note has a fascinating texture — pure and rich” - James Donelan, Santa Barbara Independent, Live Review of SoHo, February 26, 2008

LOOKING FOR A GREAT BOOK?
"This Is Your Brain On Music: The Science of a Human Obsession" (published by Dutton/Penguin Publishing). Written by Daniel Levitin.
The book is written for a general (lay) audience, and tries to make accessible some of the cutting edge research on music and the brain that has been conducted over the last ten years or so.
This is how the publisher describes it:
Whether you load your iPod with Bach or Bono, music has a significant role in your life-even if you never realized it. Why does music evoke such powerful moods? The answers are at last be- coming clear, thanks to revolutionary neuroscience and the emerging field of evolutionary psychology. Both a cutting-edge study and a tribute to the beauty of music itself, This Is Your Brain on Music unravels a host of mysteries that affect everything from pop culture to our understanding of human nature, including:
o Are our musical preferences shaped in utero?
o Is there a cutoff point for acquiring new tastes in music?
o What do PET scans and MRIs reveal about the brain's response to music?
o Is musical pleasure different from other kinds of pleasure?
This is what Oliver Sacks said:
"Endlessly stimulating, a marvelous overview, and one which only a deeply musical neuroscientist could give. Daniel Levitin has a huge knowledge of music developed since the 1950s (and of blues, jazz, and etc. before this), and not merely a formal but a deep personal knowledge as an expert performer no less than as a listener. I particularly liked the discussion of 'safe' and 'dangerous' music, and I very much liked the final chapter on the evolutionary origins of music. An important book."
