“Vocal Chameleon, Sarah Folsom, is unlike any other I’ve had the delight of listening to and singing with. A classically trained singer of the highest pedigree, Sarah has the ability to morph her voice to be as smooth and buttery as Rosemary Clooney and as sultry, and folksy as Carole King.”
“Sarah Folsom’s voice captivated me right from the start. It was at once smoky, heartfelt, unbelievably transcendent, warm and incredibly powerful. Her vocal timbre and style might be considered a worthy successor to such great jazz figures as Sarah Vaughan and Blossom Dearie. She did an incredible service to the Cincinnati jazz scene by highlighting the career of Ms. Day, a woman who left such an indelible impact in the realm of popular songs and jazz standards...”
