"Stacey Kent is a revelation. There is nobody singing today who can compare with her. She has

the style of the greats, like Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. And she sings the words like Nat

Cole - clean, clear and almost conversational with perfect phrasing. And that's as good as it

gets.” - Jay Livingston, Three-time Oscar-winning songwriter
