3.0 out of 5 stars Good Debut Album by A New Artist, February 16, 2000

...First, this is more of a 'jazz' cd than a pure'swing' cd,but Veronica's vocals are strong and emotional throughout--Her singing 'style' sounds like a blend of Pat Benatar and Janis Joplin,with a hint of "Ella" here & there--it's a good album for a debut in the cd format,although I have a quibble with the engineer putting her voice a bit too far 'forward'on a couple of the 'slow' songs...The backup band is first-rate,and overall, this DEBUT cd is better than a LOT of the Pop out these days...3-1/2 stars out of 5--a '5' being Fitzgerald's" Clap Hands" album or my two Alberta Hunter LP's. Favorite songs on this cd: Me,Myself and I, and Big City Swing. Good job,Ms Martell! Looking forward to cd # 2---

Absolutely great sound. Big band and a great and big voice. It's a pleasure to hear new renditions of some old great charts.

A fantastic debut album. Miss Veronica Martell's voice is "world-class" and the band is doing their job as it should be done. It is an album which can be played over and over again. Look forward to follow this Big City Swing band in the future.
