"Kris
Adams takes rare natural gifts, a most pleasing voice and sure sense
of time, and adds taste in material and a curiosity in conception that
is central to jazz."
Bob Blumenthal, Jazz Critic

"Kris
Adams has a strong jazz sensibility . . . an easy, agreeable sense of
swing and an obvious appreciation for everything from Ella's scatting
to Sheila Jordan's intonation."
Christopher Loudon, Jazz Times

"Prosser's rearrangements can snap like elastic bands or unravel like
balls of twine . . . Right on the edge!"
Steve Starger, The Hartford Advocate
|
"Adams is not a typical songbird, but one who stretches herself, requiring
listeners to open their ears. Those who do will find the rewards many
and great!"
Dave Nathan,
All Music Guide
|
"Kris Adams stakes her own claim as a singer to be reckoned with . .
. she subtly gets into the melodies and the music itself."
Bill Donaldson,
Jazz Improv Magazine

"An
arresting CD with an interesting edge book ended by Watch What Happens
and The 'In' Crowd underscores Kris Adams' range of abilities,
values, and attitudes as a genuinely ripened singer."
Dr. Herb Wong, The IAJE Journal
