"Harry Connick, Jr. cantante y pianista estadounidense. Su repertorio y estilo se aproxima al jazz por la vía del swing y de la canción popular estadounidense. Se trata de un moderno crooner, dentro de la estela generada por la influyente generación de Frank Sinatra.

"When you listen to Laura Fygi singing, you are struck by her fine intonation, her excellent phrasing, her relaxed sense of swing, her clear diction, mellow voice and her sophisticated choice of repertoire. But what impresses most of all is the abundant joy she clearly derives from performing - a joy which she unfailingly communicates to her audience.
Listen to her Verve album, Live at Ronnie Scott's, recorded in March 2002, which features such imperishable standards from the Great American Songbook as Lady Day's "Good Morning Heartache," Sammy Fain's "That Old Feeling," Cole Porter's "Just One Of Those Things" and Hoagy Carmichael's "The Nearness Of You" and note how she breathes new, vibrant life into these immortal classics"

After emigrating from Russia in the early 1990s, Milman, who is of Jewish heritage, spent most of her childhood years in Israel where she listened extensively to jazz. Her self-titled debut album was released on October 12, 2004 in Canada" -

"Not charts, not sheet music: instead, Toronto's youngest vocal jazz sensation is curled up with a good, text-heavy, hardcover book. It's an accurate depiction of 22-year-old Milman, who for the last two-and-a-half years has been studying commerce full time at the University of Toronto while nicely making way, in her spare time, in the uncertain waters of the jazz world. Her album hit the Canadian Top Ten early this year; she's booked at jazz festivals throughout Canada this summer, and she is one of the nominees for the first annual Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards, to be presented April 10, competing against the likes of jazz star Diana Krall in the category of Best Female Vocalist". - Aliyah Baruchin
