From the Washington Post
Washington Post review by Mike Joyce
"...The evening was a textbook sample of what music should be about. Ovette is a marvelous vocalist. This reviewer, a record collector for many years, can close his eyes and hear a very young Sarah Vaughan, from the Musicraft Records days. She is a joy to watch because she sincerely enjoys her work. Expect great things from her in the future."
