I Loves You Porgy

" ...the sound of Norma Winstone, the groove of Flora Purim, the swing of Annie Ross and a dash of Anita O'Day in the phrasing...for lovers of good vocal jazz" Lee Gibson

"Individualistic, imaginative, ethereal jazz vocalist explores original and contemporary jazz with world and Latin flavours with a fine band featuring pianist Ivo Neame and trumpeter Joe Auckland. Highly recommended" Time Out, September 2006

"If sheer talent were the only ingredient needed for success in music, Brigitte would already be up there with the stars. She has a tremendous future to explore, one which we'll be watching with great expectations". Dame Cleo Laine and John Dankworth CBE

"...Divinely sung solos from Brigitte Beraha..." The Guardian

"Ms Beraha has made an album that really stands out of the crowd" Jazzwise

"Brigitte is someone who concentrates on the music's core values: imagination, individuality, improvisation. Her voice is undeniably powerful and enviably clear, and this CD should certainly whet appetites for Beraha's live appearances." Jazz Review

"Perhaps the most impressive to me is Brigitte's clarity, conviction and the program........ congratulations on an excellent recording.'' Rufus Reid

"Her debut album is impressive, as one would expect from someone who's well and truly paid her dues" Humphrey Lyttelton

"I especially liked 'Got No Blues' and 'Sunlight On Your Face', and a real nice version of 'Love for Sale''. Kenny Wheeler

"Singer Brigitte Beraha is a sensational new arrival on the British jazz scene."  JazzAberdeen
