Lee
Gibson Reviews - What the Critics say |
| |
‘At a Lee Gibson performance you know that you’re in the presence of an artist with both deep musical intuition and well-trained skill and professionalism. Her control over her voice as she moves from warm intimacy to soaring power is a joy to hear. I rate her 1993 CD ‘You Can See Forever’ as one of the best recordings by a British jazz singer.’
Chris Howes ‘JAZZ NOTES’
‘The weekend provided something for everyone. One of the undoubted highlights proved to be the performance of visiting UK jazz vocalist Lee Gibson, who impressed the huge outdoor audience with a terrific set.’
John Speight ‘TIME OUT - SYDNEY’
‘She is that rarity, a swinging singer who has also reached the highest standards of musicianship…. an immaculate set.
‘TIME OUT - LONDON’
‘The difference between Lee Gibson and many another jazz singer is that she swings in so many different ways, sometimes subtle, sometimes sensuous, sometimes joyful but always musical. (She is) one of the best Big Band singers in the country.’
‘THE STAGE’
‘Lee’s uninhibited delivery and unstoppable swing never occlude the clarity of her diction and concern for the meaning of the lyrics. Every tune on this CD (‘The Nearness of You’) will reward repeated listening.’
Jonathan Abbott ‘JAZZ ON CD’
‘The star of the currently excellent London jazz singing scene.’
Bruce Crowther ‘JAZZ JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL’
‘One of the treasures of British jazz, Lee Gibson gave a performance that was as enjoyable as it was musically immaculate. Lee quickly captured the audience’s attention with a combination of creative flair, an innate sense of swing, a highly effective microphone technique and a winning stage presence.’
Chris Lee ‘MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS’
‘As far as I am concerned there can never be too much Lee Gibson…whether she is singing with the BBC Big Band or Holland’s vast Metropole Orchestra, or with a simple jazz trio, she lights up any song with her musicality.’
Dave Gelly ‘THE OBSERVER’
‘Lee is a talented and charismatic singer whose reputation for excellence pulls in the crowds.’
Graham Williams ‘SOUTH WALES EVENING POST’
