Editorial Reviews

Rhythm & News Magazine, December 1994
#1 Regional Release of 1994: Stellar, and the songs are well-thought-out. Why is she not signed? A must.

Not the best, but it was the first.......2006-10-25

I became a HUGE fan of GrooveLilly when I saw them in the summer of 2006 performing in a musical version of A Midsummer Night's Dream. I have since picked up several of this interesting and innovative band's CDs. This one was a disappointment. It completely lacked the edge of Ms. Vagoda's later albums. This particular CD feels like a slightly pop-inspired easy listening/jazz endeavor. Valarie Vagoda's artful Violin-playing is under-utilized and the group lacks the interesting, musical edge that is later brought by keyboardist Brendan Milburn and drummer Gene Levin.

That is not to say that the album is entirely bad. The music is pretty, Ms. Vagoda's voice is as beautiful as ever, and the album has a late-80s feel that I found a bit nostalgic.

Ultimately, unless you are already a GooveLilly completist, avoid this album and instead pick up the fantastic "Little Light" or (my favorite) "Striking 12".

Fabulous vocals and jazz violin.......2001-06-14

Valerie Vigoda has a unique and beautiful voice to go with her tremendous talent in classically-trained jazz violin. She does not sound like anyone else. The closest I can come in describing her is a voice with Joni Mitchell's range set to violin something like Jean-Luc Ponty. Don't be mislead by the fact that her current band, Groovelily, self-describes its gigs as the "folk" circuit.
