"WINTER MOON" is a fresh, harmonically beautiful collection of jazz vocals. Jody Sandhaus has a beautiful, gentle voice that lends itself excellently to these songs, a voice that lingers lovingly over each lyric with great sensitivity. This CD is a winner for those who like fine jazz vocals. Jody Sandhaus delivers with style and feeling in her CD collection. Very, very nice! A perfect jazz vocals CD for listening pleasure! -Lee Prosser, jazzreview.com “Her drama is light, refreshingly so. Meaning that in the middle of, say, The Ballad of the Sad Young Men, where melancholy is everywhere, the singer manages to provide us a pat on the back…” -Jim Macnie, The Village Voice "Those fragmentary clutchings at our hearts as we make our way down the streets remembering who loved us when ...Jody Sandhaus brings warmth to that memory - that knowing - those yesterdays. Jody sings so gently and carefully about love that we want to ask questions, but that is not the work to which she speaks, is not the work to which she sings - which is that we should imagine and define with clarity our arrival to love and our continuance in that dream. How could we not follow with her on this journey?" -John Williams, HOT HOUSE Jazz Nightlife Guide “Clearly, Sandhaus is a singer who’s also a musician. She phrases like a horn..her sparten way with a melody and crisp diction also merit praise.” -Chuck Berg, JAZZTIMES “..has one of those simple, direct voices that can stab you in the heart…exceptional gift for communicating…a singer I’d definitely like to hear more of.” -Jerome Wilson, Cadence <<Home
