“a sublime vocalist and songwriter” "This young lady is smooth, sincere, and flexible. Not afraid to test the boundries of many styles, Eckert exhibits amazing versatility and confidence." “... fresh and sophisticated. Backed by a crack team of Dallas musicians, including percussionist/husband Gary Eckert, Ms. Eckert effortlessly swings with her well-shaped alto and intelligent ear for lyrics... Ms. Eckert’s debut is an occasion for celebration. It is a well-conceived and well-performed pleasure.” “... the musical values she brings to her debut CD are estimable... Her intonation is absolutely secure and she seems completely at ease with the rhythmic flow of her improvisations. Her scat and rhythmic rephrasing of “Gotta Give” establish the fact that she can pretty much accomplish what she sets out to do, in turning a lyric collar without losing the thread. Additionally, she is no mere dilettante in the song writing department... a superior debut.” “Rosana Eckert’s voice is attractive... She handles ballads with grace, sings comfortably in Portuguese on "Ela E Carioca," and delivers "One Mint Julep" with appropriate sass. Her own originals are nice, too... Rosana Eckert sings in a way that maximizes her vocal gift. The band behind her matches her competence with steady playing of their own. This is a solid album in every facet.” “Rosana has one of my favorite kind of voices, where there's a real person behind the sound, a naturalness and sincerity that is completely compelling (and rare I think).” “Wow, Rosana is such a fabulous singer and musician! She is so musical and is one of the few singers who really makes all the changes when she scats. And that gorgeous voice... I don't think it’s possible to listen to her CD and not love it.” |
