Rosemary Clooney, Peggy Lee with a pinch of Ella Fitzgerald are good points of reference for her vocal style. Silvano is not afraid to be playful and light on such songs as “Not To Worry” and “New Dance” where she scats convincingly, and she can also handle a song with more depth such as “Inside A Silent Tear” and the lovely “Why Do I Still Dream of You”, which is the standout track and her best vocal performance. The backing band’s musicianship is excellent, and they exercise restraint where other musicians may have gone overboard with solos. This CD is pleasant listen, and perfect for those who can appreciate a singer with a clean, unfussy voice that is not afraid to take some chances for her craft. Judi Silvano: Women’s Work - 4 STARS DOWN BEAT MAGAZINE Caught live at New York’s Sweet Rhythm in March 2006, JSilvano gives a masterful performance. The album title nods not only to the bold, vibrant all-female ensemble, but to the repertoire, which was penned exclusively by women. Far more than a concept album, Women’s Work finds the singer at the peak of her creative game. Silvano displays a firm knowledge of jazz history and vocal technique, subtly coloring the songs with a well-placed shere, a cheery squeak there.
