"Polished and professional spring to mind to describe vocalist Gradie Stone, also heartfelt in her delivery and that of her musicians" - Jazz Times Magazine. "I've known Gradie and her family for many years and have recorded with her Dad, Kirby Stone. Gradie is a solid and swinging performer in her own right" - Bucky Pizzarelli.
