“Laura Bernay’s ‘éclectique’ covers a wide range of styles and compositions…..a quality voice with a wide vocal range, navigating tricky arrangements with finesse and particularly adept at vocalise and scatting.”
Australian Jazz Scene
“Congratulations on your CD! The nice thing about this CD is that it takes a few plays to really start appreciating all the work that went into it, in other words even after playing it more than 5 times I hear something new the next time.
Paul Millard is great on Night and Day, and Mike Nelson is always good, Murray Wilkins and Peter Evans, world class!”
Peter Wakeford-presenter of “Jazz Swing and other Good Things” Capital Radio Perthfor 10 years.
“It’s fantastic!”
Paul McIntyre, ABC Radio Hobart
“After the first listen I was enthralled. Subsequent listenings made me appreciate why you chose those songs and how vital it was for you to be content with your arranger. You guys are a great team and the musicianship is second to none. Your voice is better than ever–what a range! Thank you again for providing me with such great pleasure–you are so gifted.”
