HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT

"Laura Wolfe makes my ears happy. Great style. Great interpretation."
 -Lou Powers, WBCB 1490 AM Philadelphia

"Laura Wolfe’s lovely voice glides effortlessly through precise arrangements of tunes from the “Great American Songbook.” She’s faithful to the words and music of the lyricists and composers, but her distinctive style stands out as she caresses your ears. Watch out world, here she comes. This lady can sing!"
-John Bohannon, WRHU 88.7 FM New York

"...Laura Wolfe could be a real contender. Her first album is a winner. Taking on a dozen old standards, she sings them with zip on the up-tempo numbers and wistfulness on the ballads. She's very well supported by a quartet led by pianist/ arranger Ron Snyder. He provides some interesting touches like incorporating strains of 'These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)' in the vocal of 'Where Can I Go Without You?' and doing the same with a bit of 'Moonglow' in the sultry-smooth 'East of the Sun (and West of the Moon)' that also features tasty flute work by Damon Zick, who is on sax elsewhere. ...she generally has a very good handle on the melodies and sense of the lyrics, as demonstrated in her lovely a capella first few lines of 'My One and Only Love.' Another strength is avoiding melodrama, for even though she sings with real passion it's thoughtful consideration of situations that comes across, rather than wallowing in puddles of emotion. This is especially true in 'I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good.' Her phrasing is quite fresh in the very often recorded and performed classics. Laura wins points for often including the neglected verses to these great old songs. The California-based singer, with some experience in cabaret, theatre and dance, is someone I'd like to hear more from soon. She sounds invested in the material, projects intelligence, and has a very attractive sound."

"When I first heard Laura Wolfe's new album, "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not," I knew that my listeners would love it too. Here is a rare collection of fresh and beautiful love songs that are passionately recorded with fine instrumentation. This album is just what is needed to acquaint all generations with these great tunes from the American Songbook. However, these are just old songs. Even people who have heard them before will think that they are new again, when they hear Laura's unique interpretations of these timeless lyrics. She truly is a song stylist and not just a performer.
Laura successfully places herself in the role of the writers of these classic love songs and then gently communicates their message of adoration or heartbreak to the listener. She really knows how to sell a song. In fact, I was sold just after hearing just a few bars of her pleasing and talented voice.
-John Russell Ghrist, host of Midwest Ballroom, WDCB 90.9 FM Chicago

"Laura's CD, 'He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not', is a treasure for music lovers who like the great standards. Every phase of Laura's talent shines through each tune. She is imaginative and creative and delivers a distinctive style that is all her own. Listen and enjoy as the excitement builds from the very first cut to the last and I am sure you will agree with me that Laura Wolfe is one of the brightest stars of today."
 -Jim Stone, host of Big Band Swing, WLNZ 89.7FM Lansing

"Laura Wolfe's new CD takes you back to the days when JAZZ was soothing and a part of real life and romance...This is an artist that I truly enjoy, and I am pleased that we'll have more on the way...  The best way to describe the
effort is, "TRULY DELICIOUS"...  Enjoy."

"Laura has a strong theatrical voice and puts it to good use in front of a swinging ensemble. Ron Snyder (p), Jack LeCompte (perc), John Smith (b) and Damon Zick (sax, fl) sound larger than a quartet yet never get in the way of the music. Wolfe sings a dozen standards arranged by Snyder. They range from the happy go lucky spirit of "It's So Nice To Have A Man Around The House” and "Can't We Be Friends", to the soft ballads like "I've Got It Bad and That Ain't Good". The vocals are so crisp and well articulated; you'll feel like you're at a live stage show."
 -D. Oscar Groomes - O's Place Jazz (Newsletter)
