Press Reviews J. Doug Gill, Editor, Music Monthly Magazine: “Jazz Street Station captures the radiant buoyancy of contemporary jazz, and speaks it with a voice that appeals to a universal audience. Framed by the essence of Jane Lamar’s soaring vocals and the full range of emotion displayed by the keyboard talents of George Spicka, Jazz Street Station celebrate an innovative alchemy of saxophone, bass, flute, drums, and percussion.” . . . Mike Joyce, Critic, The Washington Post: "A septet so clearly fond and capable of conjuring festive and fanciful moods." "With an agile voice well versed in tricky harmony and Afro-Caribbean rhythms, singer Jane Lamar is responsible for much of the album's buoyancy and charm." . . .

I'm glad there's MP3 because otherwise I may never have heard this. Fantastic vocal/instrumental mix with words that speak from the depth of human emotion".
