5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing, December 19, 2005

This review is from: Big Bad & Blues (Audio CD)

I think the critics can say it better than I can. Read on:

"Ultimately, Big, Bad & Blue, Live! is every bit about the cabaret experience and its intimacy. Dexter bonds with her audience on many levels, practically introducing the SRO crowd to one another.. fueled by a brilliant sense of dynamics and emotive sensitivity....Dexter's performance is an emotionally charged, soul-stirring thing to behold." Mike Bieber, JAZZIZ, June 1998.

"With a meticulously chosen, eclectic set of songs -- from some unlikely sources as well as the likes of Strayhorn/Ellington -- Dexter accomplishes what she always sets out to do: Create an emotional bond with her audience, a la cabaret, but via musicality rather than imposed anguish....Her songs are as much dramatic performances as they are pop music...It's tough to figure out which is more remarkable, Baby Jane Dexter's new show or the fact she isn't signed to a major label." John Anderson, Newsday, Jan. 1998.

"Wait till you feel Dexter's chilling reading of the Ellington-Strayhorn classic 'Something to Live For,' or Abbey Lincoln's piercing 'Throw It Away.' It's devastating Dexter at her best." John Hoglund. Bistro Bits, Back Stage.
