From today' s (Thursday) Calendar Weekly Section of the Los Angeles
Times:
Pure Power:
"Rebecca Parris has the kind of vocal chops even the vets gasp over. I
remember the wonderful Stephanie Haynes, sitting in the now-defunct Bjlauzezs
in Sherman Oaks, bemoaning that she couldn't sing like the Boston-based
Parris."
"Thank goodness, Haynes, who by the way appears Saturday 8 p.m. to midnight at
Ca' Del Sole - sings in her own inimitable, swinging manner. But I could see
what she meant. The rightly acclaimed Parris, who appears Sunday 8 p.m. at
The Moonlight (13730 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks; 818-788-2000), can really
belt out a tune, but manages to keep that high-power style artistic, not
showy. On the flip side, this ace chanteuse can turn down the volume and
deliver a ballad with consummate nuance. To top it all off, she knows how to
swing. All in all, a fine musical package."
