L'Tanya Mari' Sings "A Teardrop of the Sun"
 July 10
"There are many fine female jazz singers on the scene today but, with the
release of A Teardrop Of Sun, L'Tanya Mari' immediately emerges as one of
the top contenders. It is not just that she has an inspired repertoire (from
Chick Corea's "Crystal Silence" and "This Is New" to "That Old Black
Magic"), impeccable intonation and a pretty voice. Most impressive are her
choice of notes, her use of space and silence, and her intelligent way of
improvising melodically. She pays tribute to each composer's intent while
uplifting each tune through her phrasing, subtle emotions, and solid sense
of swing." -Scott Yanow, Jazz Critic
