Press
“Amy Cervini stands out from the pack in her generation.”
Allmusic.com
“…Cervini can sing most any song and tell a story worth hearing.”
DownBeat Magazine
“honest, self-assured and honey-dripping presence clearly heard”
All Music Guide
“Singer Amy Cervini’s work has been aimed at tearing down boundaries between old and new jazz styles, rock, pop, country and more—a reminder of Duke Ellington’s old axiom that there’s just two kinds of music, good and bad.”
Time Out New York
“Cervini belongs to a circle of young jazz-plus singers who resist categorization…such as Nellie McKay, Kate McGarry and Heather Masse”
NYC Jazz Record
