"Stephanie Porter was born to sing Jazz. That much is evident from the opening of "Love For Sale" an excellent cut from her album How Deep Is The Ocean? Porter's vocals on the track are stunning as is the offbeat drumming. The song has a very open sound, at times just her voice and drums, though acoustic bass and piano are also utilized. Porter can sing like no tomorrow to be blunt. She has stunning depth and range and never overdoes it or overstays her welcome. Her smoky vocals on "Love Me Or Leave Me" are haunting and totally geared for the song. It's quite easy to picture a 1930's Jazz Club covered in cigarette smoke with a bunch of gentlemen hoping to be lonely no more. I think I also picture Jessica Rabbit. "How
Deep Is The Ocean?" has a bit of swing and swagger to it with excellent
piano and acoustic bass work even including a bass solo. Again, Porter's
vocals are great and the musical arrangements are first class. It is
truly a pleasure to listen to a nod to the distant past of American
music that sounds genuine and sincere. And, what a voice to do it with.
Truly outstanding." "Stephanie
Porter is one of freshest new jazz vocalists I've heard in quite some
time. One of the things I like best about her is that her sound is totally
her own; she doesn't sound like anyone else. (OK, maybe a little like
the young Anita O'Day... but just a little.) It's going to be a delight
to watch and hear her artistic growth in the years to come." “How
Deep Is The Ocean” #7 at How
