Here is the review by Scott Yanow that appeared in the April issue of LA JAZZ SCENE:
"Pianist George Kahn has been putting together ambitious and successful shows in the L.A. area for years. His Jazz & Blues Revue puts the spotlight on three equally talented singers: Courtney Lemmon, Gina Saputo and Crystal Starr. The Jazz & Blues Revue (which perhaps should really be called the Jazz & R&B Revue) covers a wide ground, from a heated version of “Cantaloupe Island” and a Latin-ized “Summertime” to the r&bish “I’d Rather Be Blind” and “Something’s Got A Hold On Me.” Of particular interest are a pair of songs (“Beat Me Daddy Eight To The Bar” and “Shoo Shoo Baby”) that find the singers operating very much like a swing era vocal trio. Each of the vocalists are also in the lead on three songs apiece, belting their hearts out. Kahn’s rhythm section with bassist Lyman Medeiros and drummer M.B. Gordy is joined on various selections by altoist Eric Marienthal, trumpeter Dr. Bobby Rodriguez (who is in explosive form), tenor-saxophonist Chuck Manning and guitarist Pat Kelley, each of whom add a lot to the music. Overall Jazz & Blues Revue (available from www.georgekahn.com) is quite fun and certainly full of spirit."
