"This is a big group with a range from hot bounces to sultry tropical splendors. Four saxophones pour out a scrumptious sound, punched up by trumpets and 'bones, that makes 'Begin the Beguine' and 'Frenesi' sway your boat."

About Our Female Singers

"You’ll get a kick from Champagne!"
- San Francisco Chronicle

"Connie’s finest moment occurs when her voice eclipses all else, grabbing hold of a song like a 100-dollar tip and living up to the reward with passion paid in full."
- San Francisco Sentinel

"From the moment she steps onstage, Champagne is pitch-perfect."
- Los Angeles Times

"Hale Baskin has all the tools. She sings with admirable taste and control, rhythmic and harmonic sense, and clear insight into the jazz tradition. So dig!"
- Producer and Writer Dr. Herb Wong

“[I]t looks like we have a rising star in our midst. Remember Baskin's name. You'll be hearing it again soon.”
- Oakland Tribune
