"Her singing is drenched in emotion, drama, experience and pure swing."

"I first discovered [Russell] because Terry Gross is a big fan and then I caught her singing with the Donald Fagen/Boz Scaggs/Michael MacDonald band, where she pretty much stole the show. See the woman if you can, or at least check out her cds."
