Suave.......2006-03-12

Her voice is enchanting, I met her in NY this year and heard her sing live in front of an audience. She is very graceful, sensual, and last but not least professional. The CD is in no way disappointing compared to her live concert.
Her performance brings a freshness to the scene of many female jazz singers. She has her own wide-range repertoire and is an independent-minded yet very focused performer.
I think we will hear more of her in the press and musical reviews in the near future.
Bravo Michelle!

Gold Dust at My Feet.......2003-07-24

I certainly made it to the sunny side of the street when I chanced to hear Michelle Walker this past weekend. What a wonderful voice she has, equally at home interpreting classic favorites and contemporary numbers. And let's not forget the wonderful players she has backing her up -- the bass and guitar work are wonderful, as is the pianist. I got her CD on the spot, one for myself and one to give to a friend.

Do yourself a favor, and get this CD. We have a wonderful "new" jazz artist to treasure!

The Washington Post Loves Michelle's Debut CD "Slow Down".......2003-01-17

"Slow Down" seems an especially apt title for jazz vocalist Michelle Walker's new recording. In fact, given the CD's seductive charms and frequently relaxing pulse, "Slow Down" is more than a title, it's an invitation that's hard to resist.

A jazz lover's delight!.......2002-01-04

Michelle Walker is a name quickly becoming familiar to all true jazz fans. Her CD Slow Down is an exciting selection of great classics that simply put a smile on your face. Michelle's rich, passionate sound adds such a feeling of warmth that you find yourself hanging on to every note. Every cut on Slow Down is excellent but when Michelle Walker sings Nature Boy, Nat King Cole would be proud! Set your CD player on repeat because you'll find yourself hooked from the start.

Never knew jazz like this before.......2002-01-02

This CD is very good. Never knew that I liked jazz, but I do love Michelle Walker. She has a great voice. A sexy voice. Her rendition of 'My Song' outdoes the original. Sorry, Elton. The best song on the CD, by any measure, is the song penned by Walker herself. The song has beautiful words and the music fits it perfectly, and helps make the song even better.
