WHAT THE CRITICS HAVE SAID:

Rarely have I heard so many musical ideas from one set of pipes with the talent and self assurance to carry them off. Her jazz phrasing is flawless." —Back Stage

“A wicked way with a lyric and a glint of well-controlled mischief." —The New York Times

“Slyly sophisticated, easily accessible, Saloff stands as a kind of ideal." —Chicago Tribune

“Saloff's frenzied scat-singing trip brought the audience to its knees." —Star Ledger

“Her voice takes on a lovely Billy Holiday-like quality. Saloff will win you over completely." —New York Post

WHAT THE CELEBRITIES HAVE SAID:

“Here is a list of qualities that every great singer must have. Great pitch, Time, Clarity, (Diction) and the greatest gift of all instant identifiability—you hear a few notes and immediately know who is singing. This is something that any singer would kill for.

Spider Saloff needn't worry. She has all these qualities and then some!

She's incredibly musical, a great performer, and marvelous songwriter. A perfect example of this is the title track from her latest CD ,"Like Glass" on Kopaesthetics. Just listen. You'll love it!" —Award winning songwriter/arranger, Johnny Mandel

“Right-on intonation and a personal style which can sell a ballad or tantalize with half a chorus of scatting." —Dick Hyman

“Full of life and vitality." —Studs Terkel

So come and have a wonderful romantic evening for two with one of the nation's best jazz vocalists touring today!
