After years of being an on-air jazz album reviewer for Philadelphia's WRTI, 90.1 FM, I've become very selective about accepting invitations to write liner notes for new albums. … There must be form and substance, not just technical flash … Amidst all these possible paths, the recorded body of work of Judith Kay goes on telling believable stories in her unique way.

Her Voice, Her Guitar, Volume 2 … opens with Cy Coleman's “It Amazes Me.” If you don't fall in love with her immediately, you're dead! Let me also shout my admiration of Judith's sensitive treatment of two other American pieces. First, comes her totally believable delivery of my old friend Bob Dorough's “Small Day Tomorrow.” Then, it's Tommy Wolf's, “Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most.”

Five of the twelve compositions displayed here are Brazilian, and they are among the very best of the "legends" of this music. Judith is a good example of the special class of American jazz singers who … perform Brazilian music after considerable time studying the difficult nuances of this gorgeous art form. Enjoy it! You've come to a place of excellent music!
