Reviews
…Kathy Kosins has got to be one of the best jazz vocalists around. Her warm, sensuous voice wraps itself round the notes the song and the result is hot chocolate dynamite!!
Hadley Tituss, Jazz Rendezvous
Singer’s background comes to the fore Kathy Kosins’ style emerges from household sound
Joe Klopus, The Kansas City Star
So with VINTAGE, one can be sure that Kathy had already done her homework when it came to selecting ‘vintage’ songs for her next CD.
Paula Edelstein, Sounds of Timeless Jazz
Three years after her widely acclaimed Mood Swings, Detroit chanteuse Kathy Kosins is taking big steps backward-but in a good way.
Christopher Louden, JazzTimes
Ms. Kosins’s nonstandard choice of standards is almost as winsome as her easygoing, swinging style…
New York Times
Kathy Kosins has a fine expressive voice and she is joined by a top-notch sextet, but the real star of this set are the songs
Scott Yanow, AllMusic
If Jazz had four seasons, Kathy Kosins would be spring. Something to look forward to, something budding, and most of all something just down right distinct.
Chris DiGirolamo, Inside Connection
On Vintage, Kathy Kosins plunges into a rarely explored area of standards, and emerges with a handful of well-crafted melodic pearls. Her alluring bring to lightly swinging “Tiptoe Gently”. A teasing, sensual approach comes across to good effect on Russell Garcia’s “Go Slow”, where Kathy drags seductive lyrics across a decelerated tango.
John Stevenson, Ejazznews
Continuing to fight the good fight for recognition, her first set in three years finds Kosins with wider exposureand distribution and an album of oldies you probably never heard. Digging into the past for a flock of songs that time has past by, as well as a few surprises that she manages to make fit right. A dazzling jazz singer that has that something extra that was made to be appreciated, Kosins has got it going on and you should get on the train. Hot stuff.
Midwest Record Recap
I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with a new female vocal album, but I wound up staying the night.
Will Friedwald
The aptly titled “Vintage” represents the best work yet by Kathy Kosins, a Detroit jazz singer with a sharp ear for obscure material and a taste for A-list accompanists…
Mark Stryker, Detroit Free Press
