REVIEWS:

"Los Angeles singer and pianist Anne Farnsworth's calling cards are standards and modern pop - combining tasteful improvisation with lyric imagination and a pinch of humor..."
La Stampa
Torino, Italy


"Appearing on Clearwater Beach for the first time, Anne Farnsworth is a welcome addition to the local Jazz scene. Anne's vocal range and unique stylings are absolutely gorgeous. This review marks the first time Anne has been written about in the area but will by now means be the last."
Tampa Tribune
Tampa, Florida



"With a profound knowledge of the history of jazz and the American songbook, Anne interprets standards with witty elegance and genuine sociablility. With her improvisational flair and lyric imagination, she evokes the models of humor and swing, Blossom Dearie and Annie Ross."
BluesTime.it



"In a coy solo on "Body and Soul", she recalled Billie Holiday. Scatting impressively on "Twisted", she gave this chestnut the offbeat elegance of a Blossom Dearie."
Worcester Record
Worcester, Mass.

  • Wonderful CD
    author: Dr. S B

    The CD is very well produced. The collection of songs are very nice, and the talent in the CD can be clearly heard. Anne, the lead singer, really sings great, and the other guys are fantastic. I bought it a few weeks ago, and man, I am still listening to it on numerous occasions. Thanks for producing this fantastic CD. Keep up the good work.
