“Anders Nilsson and Fay Victor open up their first duo record with Duke Ellington’s Mood Indigo and they do it in a way that makes you half feel like you’ve never heard it before and whole feel that you want to hear more. Victor’s voice and Nilsson’s guitar aren’t beholden to Ellington. They’re beholden only to the song, enveloping it possessing it and freeing it again. Which time was what made the blues the blues back when it was a cry before it was just a beat.”
–Kurt Gottschalk The New York City Jazz Record
“Accomplished vocal modernist Fay Victor manages to deconstruct the tradition of jazz song without pretension or tedium quite a high-wire feat if you ask us.”
–Time Out New York
“excellent…”
–Nate Chinen, The New York Times
This music is so personal yet so universal heartfelt challenging and alive.
–Richard Kamins, Step Tempest
