Reviews

01/02/2003 Jazzwise Magazine, CD Review

"“Rae’s wide ranging stylistic reference points run the gamut from Ricky Lee Jones to Nat King Cole and, reflecting this same catholicity, the debut cleverly counterpoints the tried and tested (an affecting ‘Skylark’ plus a laconic ‘You are my Sunshine’) with Elvis Costello’s ‘Almost Blue’, a hard-hitting arrangement of the Randy Crawford classic ‘Rio de Janeiro Blue’ plus an original ‘Colourful Place’, co-composed with her father, bassist Ronnie Rae. She (Cathie) does possess a sure sense of timing and an appealing vibrato that is used to great effect. The musicianship is impeccable.”
