NoteSpeak is officially a thing

All a flutter as NoteSpeak has it's first show tonight before the CD is even fully recorded. It is an incredibly gratifying experience to have such interest before the release. Hurrah! The following rather lovely review is from the Senior Editor at All About Jazz Chris M. Slawecki who has had a sneak preview of NoteSpeak. "Musically and vocally, NoteSpeak consistently changes, shifting from style to style – acoustic jazz solos into hip-hop beats into harmonized gospel vocals into electronic jazz and fusion into free verse rhyming – and yet seems to constantly groove. Simmons' delivery swims in the deep waters connecting Nina Simone to Jill Scott, completely obliterating the line between vocalist and poetess: Warning like a mother lioness, whippersnapping through urban haunts, and curiously wondering about it all."
