"... jazz lovers th' world over will be (like totally, man) caught UP in Judi's crystal-clear delivery & exuberance. I was strongly impressed on my first listen to Judi's "brand" of jazz, & she comes across with even more uniqueness on "Songs I Wrote". Her scat style (once again) on track 7, "Listen To This", just blew me away.. & when you put Larry Goldings' on organ, Essiet Essiet's
bass, Vic Juris' H-O-T guitar & Victor Lewis' drums behind it, you wind up with what this is - my FAVORITE TRACK on the album; cut 9, "Hey Boy", is another romper, too! If you're looking for "the same old jazz" - go elsewhere... but if you want tunes & energies that will stick in your mind foryears & years - GET THIS album. It gets our MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED rating!”
