Press Quotes:
“It’s a borderless, cacophonous, in-your-face experiment in tone poetry and free-form expression. It’s tough. It’s gutsy. It’s brilliant.”
–Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes
“Complex, ambitious record…we can add Victor to the Betty Carter family of jazz singers, if we could find anyone else to fill out a family.” (A-)
–Tom Hull, Village Voice
“…actually stretches the definition of jazz vocals”
–JazzWise, UK
“Victor is the traffic director of a group methodology that surges into the interstellar regions of sound.”
–Glenn Astarita, New & Noteworthy Monthly Column, www.AllAboutJazz.com
“Taking jazz singing forward with a unique form of expression, Fay Victor delivers with authority. She reaches out with open arms to celebrate the freedom that comes with singing what you feel.”
–Jim Santella, Cadence
“CARTWHEELS THROUGH THE COSMOS is that rarity amongst contemporary vocal jazz releases: an album that doesn’t rely on a tired repertoire and looks, instead, for innovation in every corner. The beauty of Victor…is her blending of soulful delivery with avant-garde tactics. Her fearless exploration of a myriad of musical nexus points makes Cartwheels Through The Cosmos an album for those who normally stay away from vocal jazz.”
–John Kelman, AllAboutJazz.com
“I love it. It’s very special what you are doing. It’s a killer band and the whole concept is just fantastic!”
–Dave Douglas, Trumpeter
