 Review - Lori Cullen w/The Ron Davis Trio: So Much   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
While I was impressed by the entire album, the two tracks featuring Cullen particularly caught my ear, both for the quality of her vocal performance and for Davis' skill and sensitivity as an accompanist.
Cullen is a relative newcomer to jazz, having spent most of the last decade establishing herself as a singer/songwriter on the Toronto pop and folk circuit.
When the material calls for power, Cullen tends to derive it from emotional depth rather than vocal histrionics, which puts her far ahead of the pack, in my view.
