 NEW JERSEY (Top40 Charts/ NJ Records) - For your Grammy consideration for Best Jazz Vocal Album - VINYL by Deborah Lippmann (Field 10, Category 46, Number 33). "Deborah Lippman's ravishing voice evokes the lush life of smoky jazz clubs and a more glamorous time. On Vinyl, her extraordinary new CD, she also re-invigorates songs written by the Rolling Stones, the Police, Bon Jovi, and others ... The combo of classic and modern is what Lippmann is all about, and with the release of this CD, she's poised to be the new voice in the girl group that includes such jazzy singers as Norah Jones, Dianne Reeves, and Diana Krall." -Lisa Robinson, Vanity Fair "Chanteuse cocktail noir with a dusky voice that drapes over the songs like a silk chemise lightly flecked with carnal exertion. The kind of thing you'd expect from Nina Simone, Peggy Lee at her most beyond ... only these songs are not standards in the classic jazz sense, but ... Boys will be boys songs turned upside down, inside out and left stuffingless in the gulch beyond the dusty part of the road. All given a rhythm of their own, a rhythm like the slowest grind in a peep'n'brothel ... Cocktailrockjazz, perhaps? Why not a new grey area between contemporary music's unlikeliest bedmates?" -Holly Gleason, The Yummy List
