"Lynette Washington's vocal interpretation and strength captured my attention several years ago as I was searching for something great to fit into my Jazz Vocal section of a radio show on Denver's Jazz 89 KUVO. I also began to play her music on other Jazz internet stations I was involved in. The more I listened to Lynette, the more I enjoyed her unique timbre and phrasing. I contacted the record label and received Live at The X, again becoming captivated by the arrangements and interpretations of beloved Jazz standards. When I met Lynette in person and also sat in with her group at a summer festival, I discovered her stage presence is as top shelf as her vocals. This new release carries her even further forward in live performance enjoyment. I hope the listener enjoys this recording as much as I do."

". . . there are never enough great jazz singers in the early 21st century. and/but if women (and in my opinion the woman's voice has always been the center piece of good jazz) want to know how it is done they need to rush out - with all good jazz lovers - and get the great new c.d. by lynette washington that floats across the air waves under the name '' live at newroe summer sounds." And if struggling artists don't get past cut number one and pay attention to what ms washington does for the great gershwin piece "summertime" they will learn all they need to know about how to do right by america's world music - jazz. thanks to lynette washington for continuing to produce great music and thanks dennis bell for being around with your side persons to help make the point .... with this kind of work jazz could and should also be america's popular music - as it once was ...."
