"Nicolle's knack for uncovering surprises jars our imagination. Like the best artists, she reveals what we thought we knew in a clearer light. 2003 highlight"

…..”razor-sharp phrasing, limber timing and ear-pinning technique….Nicolle’s knack for uncovering surprises jars our imagination. Like the best artists, she reveals what we thought we knew in a clearer light. A 2003 highlight.”

Leon Gettler
“One of the things that makes this Victorian jazz singer one of the finest of the current generation is her fresh way of approaching each album. She doesn’t opt for a predictable set of standards. Nicolle takes a slightly oblique path. The National Jazz Award winner is a veteran now and it shows in her daring handling of her material.
