“One can best describe Mary Stallings’ mid-range vocal style as comfortable, fanciful and seasoned. She’s a pro with a lengthy career that has included stints with the orchestras of Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie and others. Her expertise is apparent on her latest CD . . . where Stallings exhibits utmost flexibility in phrasing, dynamics and warm timbrel quality, which wins her a distinctive edge as she applies abundant meanings to lyrics on uptempo swingers and ballads.” - Schwann Inside
