'Beth Yeshaya, Far Cry. A splendid debut by this underexposed local jazz chanteuse, who exudes understated personality on imaginative readings of well-known songs by Joni Mitchell, Dizzy Gillespie, Sting and others. -Jon Bream'~ Jon Bream, Star Tribune 'It is wonderful to finally get the opportunity to hear Beth stretch out on her first CD! She approaches all of the songs with a powerful combination of spirit and joy, abandon and risk. At times she sounds like the late great Laura Nyro, but with a jazzier sensibility. I especially love her command of the vocalese tunes, phrasing complex passages with ease and style. Graced with dynamic arrangements by her multi-talented husband/producer Adi Yeshaya (and big brother Paul Stiller, especially on Beth's beautiful original 'Diamonds on Velvet'), she gets the chance to have some fun, take some chances and make some sweet music!-Peter Eldridge'~ Peter Eldridge, New York Voices |
