“Di’s relaxed swinging vocals draw you in. She lives to sing the melody and her warm sound and strong time feel remind me more of Stan Getz’s tenor playing than another vocalist” – John Morrison (Australian Jazz Legend)
“Di sure knows how to sell a song. Her attention to lyric and melody communicate directly with the audience, and she sure swings!” - Roger Prior (Sydney JazzAction Society)
“Di Bird swings her bum off!” - Graeme Bell (Australian Jazz Icon)
“Her voice and delivery are like mixing the soft personal characteristics of Blossom Dearie with the range and quality of Linda Ronstadt” – Andrew Tucker (Queensland Jazz Radio Identity)
It was the name that got us in, but having made the effort we were not disappointed! She and her trio make for great entertainment and all are highly skilled jazz musicians. Imho her singing is comparable with the best in the business. I’d like her to come to our part of the world but perhaps that might embarrass the local musos who, good as they are, don’t really measure up to her.
