Reviews

“Leah is artistic, Effortless tone quality, timeless sound. One of the most versatile singers I’ve heard.” – Brett Manning, Vocal Coach to the Stars, Nashville, TN

“Bea and I truly love Kenny and Leah’s version of Hearts.” A superb interpretation of this wonderful classic. Leah’s voice fits this choice of music perfectly and together Kenny and Leah set the mood. Kenny’s playing is superb as usual. Listening to this beautiful music reminds me that Kenny Soderblom is probably the best saxophone player that I have ever recorded.” – Bruce Swedien, 5 Time Grammy Winner Producer, Sound Engineer for Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, etc.

Since she first heart Mariza, the wonderful young Portuguese Fado singer, Leah was hooked and worked tirelessly to learn this passionate music and she learned well. So much so that we flew to Lisbon to La Taverna, the Alfama District Club where Mariza got her start. After being coaxed, Leah received a standing ovation from the international audience and all the excellent Fado singers who preceded her. Boy, was I proud. – Kenny Soderblom
