Why she is not nationally distributed, I don't know. The perfect voice for jazz. She needs to put out another CD soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Standards, beautifully done, September 12, 2006

Just heard Start Eyes on radioiojazz.com - very well done.
I'm just not sure why the previous reviewer - who said very nice things about this CD in his/her review - only gave it one star?
typo, maybe?
I'll give it FIVE!

1.0 out of 5 stars Like pearls and rubys, Miss Nurullah's standards are beautifully set., June 28, 2006

This review is from: Ruby & the Pearl (Audio CD)

I just gave "Your My Thrill" a spin on my NPR jazz programme, Classic Jazz and Swing (Capital Public Radio out of Sacramento, CA.) Had many calls about the tune and the artist. She handles standards in a way that remains true to the music as written, yet refreshingly her own. It's a joy in radio to find a voice the does not sound like someone else. Her phrasing is subtle, just lovely. Other delights on this recording include her renditions of Bernice Petkere's "Lullaby of the Leaves", and that Fred Astaire RKO Radio picture song hit "I'm Putting All My Eggs in One Basket" from the never ending Irving Berlin song book. Delightful.
