Reviewers:
“Melissa
Collard is a delightful singer with a wonderful manner to match
her fine voice."
– Philip Elwood, San Francisco
Examiner Jazz Critic
“This
is a CD that is impossible not to love. Melissa Collard...has a
very inviting and cheerful voice. She clearly loves interpreting
swing standards. Her choice of notes is flawless, as is her
enunciation and her sense of swing. Add to that an impeccable
repertoire for this CD and one has the potential for a memorable
set." [read the entire review...]
– Scott Yanow
“Melissa Collard...is
an exceptionally fine singer, her self-produced CD
rewarding indeed. Melissa's
warm yet understated voice is instantly ingratiating, her
approach free from self-dramatizing exaggeration and
affectation. She is an old-fashioned artist who puts her talent
at the service of the song, rather than insisting that she is
the star." [read the entire review...]
– Michael Steinman, The
Mississippi Rag
“Although
Melissa Collard has been a professional singer for many years,
her name might not be familiar to some Classic Jazz fans - but,
when they hear this, the lady's first CD, her considerable vocal
skills will become vividly apparent." [read the entire
