ALBUM REVIEWS:
"I'm highly recommending the Radha Thomas Ensemble and giving them 5 Stars for having a fresher sound for the jazz fans who are seeking to expand their horizons. Listeners will be impressed with their approach to jazz classics like "Bluesette," "Almost Like Being In Love," and "Watermelon Man." This is a refreshingly innovative jazz album!"

"However, there's no doubt that Thomas herself steals the spotlight with her sultry, smoky vocals. There's a teasing, seductive quality to her voice that's just absolutely hypnotizing. She holds your attention from start to finish, the rich timbre of her scats and effects putting you under a spell that you never want to break."
Maria Miaoulis, TheCelebrityCafe.com (Dec 04, 2012)
"I can't stop raving about Thomas' voice and Littlewood's sax, they are just too awesome!"
