What they say about Kay Martin and her CD "softly" —

"Kay Martin´s effortless vocal delivery gently guides the mind toward life´s sweet subtleties: the come-hither glance from an intriguing stranger, the fizz of champagne, the glint of sun on ocean waves."
—Damon Orion, The Santa Cruz Good Times

"Each tune comes out as pure and individual as a finely cut gem. Ms. Martin proves herself to be "not just a singer," as her intonation, relaxed sense of swing, and clear focus in her delivery make her an up-and-coming vocalist who's already there."
—Larry Blood, KUSP 88.9 FM
"Central California Public Radio"

"Kay´s voice is pure, honest, and without pretense or affectation. I particularly enjoy hearing her sing Brazilian songs. The way she sings "Triste" is so sensitive and true to the song's emotion… Jobim himself would approve."
—Jackie Ryan, internationally renowned jazz singer

"What a GREAT voice Kay Martin does have! I died and went to heaven. THIS IS JAZZ. I am so pleased that this generation has found these tunes and is willing to bring a completely different sound to them and yet honor what went before. The songs are golden and the arrangement is wonderful. This is wonderful music."
—Jim Compton-Schmidt, KFCF 88.1 FM Fresno, Ca

"Kay Martin is new to me, and I'm so glad I found her. She handles her business and gets into my head in a very pleasurable way, so that I want more... her voice is smooth, soft, and delightful."
—Afrikahn Jahmal Davys, KKUP 91.5 FM
Jazz Beat, Jazzline Radio and TV
