“In many ways she’s an ideal: well prepared, passionately literate in music far outside her local circle, an improviser with gusto. She understands how dance rhythms leaven and quicken jazz…a full, even tone, especially on the clarinet, an instrument that could use another distinctive voice in jazz.” -- Ben Ratliff, The New York Times
