Liya's block chords and timing, hits me straight in the heart, love. Tony can play! Hall is always a pleasure to hear. The drummer responds to everything going on in the music, man he's good.
An extraordinary collection musical magicians and heavenly vocalist. This magnificent performance brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for making my life better and brighter.
This is swanging!!! Your voice and phrasing are sublime, and, man can we just take a moment to recognize that Russell Hall's pocket is so deep, you fall into a sinkhole while listening. Goold only makes it worse. Love that Cheesecake vibe at 3:47!
Martina, your pitch centring is absolutely stunning. I'm always the guy commenting on youtube videos when something is a quarter of a cent off (okay I try to do it graciously), but you just hit every note bang in the middle. Such that when you don't, it turn the head in interest. Ella did that so well, not many others do it with such style. The lines come across like they were so well thought-through. I'm sure it's a 50/50 mix of natural and trained for you? Also your glissandi are paced / shaped so beautifully, e.g. at 6:50. I had a music teacher who didn't like vocal jazz because he found vocalists tended to stretch out the lines far too long and lazy, he found it in some way too indulgent - your approach is the right side of that line for me. Can't wait to watch and listen more.
Your voice is like a jewel of rainbow colors Martina. Have been watching your vids for a while now. Your choice of material is stellar. Always an astounding choice of musicians with you. I'm letting all my musician friends hear you. As soon as they do they say, " Wow ..... who is that beautiful voice? Amazing.

Definitely a new fan and I love the concept of your LIVING ROOM. Just purchased your album. Awesome. Thank you Adam Neely for introducing me to this genre of music and Martina.
You and your smile Hold a strange invitation Somehow it seems We've shared our dreams But where? Time after time In a room full of strangers Out of the blue Suddenly you are there Wherever I go You're the glow of temptation Glancing my way In the gray of the dawn And always your eyes Smile that strange invitation When you are gone Where oh, where have you gone? How long must I stay In a world of illusion? Be where you are So near yet so far apart Hoping you'll say With a warm invitation Where have you been? Darling, come in into my heart
