REVIEWS
Top Ten CDs of 2008! Elzy Kolb, JazzHouse.org
"This is about the coolest cover art you'll ever see... and the music is every bit as cool! Downbeat Magazine has tagged Virginia Mayhew a "rising star,' but it seems to me her star has risen, high in the sky. A Simple Thank You is mainstream jazz at its most marvelous." - Dan McClenaghan, AllAboutJazz.com
"Thank You Uncle Edward" and "A Simple Thank You are both gems... with fantastic musicianship... wonderful arrangements... and great style. Kudos to all concerned! "- Bob Collins,, WRHU
"A model for straight-ahead playing, full of lively tunes, clean arrangements, and well-crafted solos. " - K.S., Arts & Entertainment, Philadelphia Enquirer
"A simple thank YOU [Virginia] for making such a hip record. I'm going to hum the parking fairy song next time I need a space. Thanks for the tip." - Gary Walker, WBGO Jazz 88
"...easily Virginia Mayhew's best recording to date." -Ken Dryden, AllAboutJazz.com
"Sax savant Virginia Mayhew succeeds in bringing us a totally viable bebop oriented project of extremely high quality. Mayhew plays her ax with bright bebop lines & impressionistic figures... hard to find a more energetic musical group... unabated spontaneous & swinging style." - George W. Carroll, The Musicians' Ombudsman
