SONGWRITING & JAZZ ALBUM REVIEWS
"Judith Durham returned to her jazz roots with this extraordinary album of big-band blues and jazz standards, augmented by three excellent originals by the singer herself. Durham belts these numbers out like a latter-day Ethel Merman only bigger voiced and with an excellent feel for the genre…Her originals, "I Wanna Dance To Your Music" and "Mama's Got The Blues" are a match for any of those standards…she could've had a career scoring musicals…a dazzling showcase for the Hottest Band In Town (especially pianist/arranger Ron Edgeworth)…There's not a weak moment on the album …"

" ***** (5 star)…This album is outstanding and shows that anything anyone else can do, Judith Durham does it better…The amazing voice leaves you with goosebumps as Judith blues out the blues, jazzes the jazz and stirs your soul with some of the great jazz and blues songs of the 20th century, not forgetting a couple of her own compositions like I Wanna Dance to Your Music…Miss this one from your list and you don't know what you're missing!"
