“…on this performance it will not be long before she becomes a big name. She took the large and appreciative Suffolk audience on a swinging and melodic journey that had them cheering and calling for more… A highlight of the evening was Ms Miller's interpretation of the familiar My Funny Valentine - another quite emotional version with Ms Miller making the most of the lyrics” |

"At all times Esther Miller sang with a true jazz feeling, while being sensibly sparing with scat solos. And she put over the words with clarity, an important aspect sometimes overlooked by jazz singers. She earns her jazz diva credentials by the way she takes charge on stage. She was surrounded by excellent players, such as explosive drummer Dave Walsh, virtuoso tenorist Paul Booth and the exceptional bassist Zoltan Dekany. But there was never any doubt who was in charge." |

"Esther Miller sat in with my band for a couple of numbers at the Bulls Head at Barnes, and it took no more than that to reveal her as a spell-binder. Voice, style and presence shes got it all. A great talent" |

Listen and admire. I've only got 2 words to say about the album. GET IT |

"If I mistook passion for nonchalance (that was my first mistake)put it down to the delicious delicacy of Esther Miller's voice. This South African-born singer turns "For All We Know" from a suicide not to a love letter. Other female jazz singers aspire to such wonderful lightness but few manage it as effortlessly as Miller. Her debut CD "Invitation" is a beguiling affair. Miller brings warmth to familiar standards." |
