4 out of 5 stars This little number can swing.......2006-01-13

After great reviews in the Seattle Times and plugs on our local jazz station KPLU, I went to see Judy. Don't miss her if you get a chance. Her album is a lovely collection and she really swings on Oscar Brown's "Humdrum Blues". Her good taste shines through in the Beatle's "In My Life" and Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right". Judy, how about rounding out a trio of greats by doing the Stones' "Wild Horses"?

5 out of 5 stars Judy Wexler's album is a Gem.......2005-11-02

Having heard some of the tracks online, I purchased Judy Wexler's "Easy on the Heart" and it has been quite a rewarding purchase.

The album is a delight and gets better with each listen. I was going to say what my favorite track is, but I have a new favorite each time I listen.

While Judy's style and sound are uniquely hers, there are echoes of past jazz greats in this voice (I'm occasionally reminded of Nina Simone, Carmen McCrae and others), but in the end, it is a satisfying sound that is simply Judy Wexler. There's a freshness in her approach and her musicianship while, at the same time, this is a voice of experience. Judy seems to bring a wry sense of having lived a full life to each nuanced sound and it brings a beautiful depth to her interpretation of each song. The musicians on this album are top rate - as are the arrangements and the production.

I highly recommend Judy Wexler's "Easy on the Heart" and can't wait to get home and listen to it again!

5 out of 5 stars Buy this record!.......2005-09-01

This is a really strong debut album from an artist who I think is really going to go places with her music....

Buy this record, open up a good bottle of wine , close your eyes and enjoy Judy's vibe!
