"For fans of gorgeous standards lovingly nestled in ideal settings and sung with impeccable beauty and style." -Jazz Times
The Europeans are way ahead of us when it comes to McKelle; she’s already a vocal jazz star there, seriously in demand for concert and television appearances. These days McKelle may seem to be leading an at least semi-charmed life, but her burgeoning success is really the result of countless gigs, lots of study and artistic drive.
“She often sounds a lot like Anita O’Day, except when she sounds eerily like Nancy Wilson. She’s blessed with O’Day’s indefatigable verve as well as her innate sense of swing, and echoes Wilson’s relaxed authority. Two years ago, she delivered a dynamite debut disc, "Introducing Robin McKelle," embracing a retro big band vibe with the ease and intelligence of a softer-edged Bette Midler. Now she’s back with a second big-band effort even better than the first. For fans of gorgeous standards lovingly nestled in ideal settings and sung with impeccable beauty and style, "Modern Antique" is essential listening.”Christopher Loudon / Jazz Times
