Reviews and Press
Like a Circle in a Spiral, The Whole Note, September 2, 2014
by Stuart Broomer
“Fern Lindzon is a rare jazz singer, her strong identity based on nuanced expression, a clear, almost silky voice, and a freedom from the collections of mannerisms that many jazz singers use to distinguish themselves. Instead, her work seems to grow from her solid piano playing and the empathy that exists with her band.”

“There are moments where she is smart and smouldering, sublimely elegant, and flowing in her interpretations.”
