"With maturity and confidence,
Gaffney derives the value of her interpretations from the potential
of each of the songs themselves, even as she is consistent with
her own voice that projects coolness within a haunting alto
range. Avoiding some of the vocal trickery that other singers
employ, mostly to draw attention to their technical strenghts
instead of the song's worth, Gaffney slowly and convincingly
lets a song unfold, letting it's lyrics and melody take
her along with it, even as she remains firmly in control of
its delivery." |

"Jazz
vocalist are expected to hit the right notes, or pursue another
line of work. Gaffney not only hits the right notes, she does
so with the skill of a weathered instrumentalist, making changes
that one would more often expect from a pianist or guitarist." |

"Gaffney’s
ability to take a song
and fill it with heartfelt emotion and rhythmic sensibility
will be
the cornerstone of her success.
The captivating beauty and

tone of album opener, "Speak Low"
or the sounds of "Four", Gaffney

"She is deserving of praise, with
a timbre that is smooth as glass.
Because of her vocal skills,
she has the potential to grab
cross-market sales like any
contemporary singer out there." |

Bill Frost
Salt Lake City Weekly
"Georgia isn't exactly known
as a hotbead for jazz, nor are
songs like Patsy Cline's "Walking
After Midnight" considered
candidates for jazzy makeovers,
Augusta chanteuse Kari Gaffney
has upended both theories. On
her latest disc, Satin Doll the
singer's smoky voice runs over
the works of Irving Berlin, Duke Ellington, Wes Montgomery
and
more like honey." |

voice and puts her material
through with conviction,
especially a very torchy take
on "Walking after Midnight". |

"West Coast Blues is as hip as it get's with Gaffney's
many talents merging to present this
tune sung on pitch (and) with clarity of expression, two
important elements found in every
good vocalist." |
