Tessa Souter B-Day Bash w/ Danny Janklow’s Elevation Band

“Souter is a beguiling artist who infuses everything she interprets with voluptuous intelligence and keen emotional insight. Best of all, she delivers it with a wit and a wink worthy of the toniest joints in town.” –Andrew Gilbert

“Tessa blends a mix of jazz and stunning originals. She is a very special talent. She really moves me. She is one of the few exceptional standouts in the crowded field of female jazz singers” –NEA Jazz Master, Sheila Jordan.

“Souter’s beautiful voice and impeccable phrasing are mighty arrows in her quiver, but it is her ability to become one with a song, finding its intrinsic core, that enables her to score successive bull’s-eyes. She exemplifies the finest and most fearless of exquisite exercises in seductive spell-casting.” –JazzTimes

"Danny Janklow is the Charlie Parker of the 21st Century." –McCoy Tyner’s favored trumpeter –Terell Stafford 

“Considering the many outstanding young jazz musicians spawned in L.A., who are most likely to move the music forward.. alto saxophonist Danny Janklow is in the front of the pack.” –Kirk Silsbee L.A. Times
