Angel Eyes is Gaffney's first vocal jazz release. The CD was met with much critical acclaim. It was voted "Best New Female Jazz Vocalist by California Radio and the Jazz Assoc. The CD broke through the top 30 on Radio Across the US & Canada. Angel Eyes features a traditional jazz combo setting of Voice, Piano and Upright Bass. Gaffney also put a new-twist to two popular Pop Classic's, "Walking After Midnight" and "Feel Like Makin Love".
"Kari has an attractive alto voice and puts her material through with conviction, especially a very torchy take on "Walking after Midnight".
Jerome Wilson, Cadence Magazine
"Sultry, Powerful, Seductive, Sensuous, Confident and all encompassing. Gaffney's ethereal vocals soar.
Brad Scotia, All About Jazz Magazine
"Kari has a powerful voice hitting each note with clarity and distinction." Debbie Keith, Herald Tribune
Chicago Radio - #2 on Charts
A fresh new talent on the jazz vocal scene, Kari Gaffney has come out with an impressive debut in her "Angel Eyes" CD. Kari exhibits phrasing, intonation and interpretative qualities in line with more experienced singers. Yet, she knows how to sing from her heart, a vocal attribute just as important as technique. Listen to her version of Patsy Cline's "Walking After Midnight"...it melts the chill from the coldest January day. Kari is a true delight to your ears; listen and enjoy!
Tom Macek, Jazzarena, 88.9 WRRG Chicago Radio
Michigan Radio
Kari's talent's shine through her new CD and her interpretation of classics like "Undecided",
"Lover Man" and Johnny Mercer's "Autumn Leaves" is right on the mark, and we can't forget
Bobby Troup's, Route 66! Kari delivers with feeling and sincerity that illuminates each song.
"Angel Eyes"...Kari's debut solo album is an inspirational tour de force!
Jim Stone's, 89.7, WLNZ Lansing Michigan
New York Radio - #2 on Charts
"From the opening notes of "Undecided". even the most casual
jazz listener will quickly become enamored with the vocal
stylings of Kari Gaffney. She doesn't try to do too much with the music...she keeps it simple, subtle and most definitely swingin'."
Eric Cohen, Music Director, WAER- Jazz 88 New York
