"An extraordinary range, excellent phrasing, and a singular style." -- JazzTimes "Kansas City denizen Angela Hagenbach solidifies her position as a first rank jazz singer ... this is an important release, and is a must for connoisseurs of the jazz vocal art." -- All Music Guide "This versatile Kansas City native sings everything from swinging, straight-ahead jazz and blues to sensual, rhythmic Latin jazz with seemingly effortless agility. Her lush contralto spans a range of nearly three octaves, and her rich life experience contributes to the original compositions and lyrics featured on her latest recordings." -- Patricia Myers, JazzTimes "A former trombonist and fashion model (at different times), Angela Hagenbach is a jazz singer with a sultry voice in the manner of Nancy Wilson and Dee Dee Bridgewater." -- Cadence * Angela Hagenbach is Kansas City's best-kept jazz secret!
