Deborah J. Carter is the epitome of a world class jazz singer. From her first note it’s evident that Carter is a pro. With a polished and elegant voice and diva-like skills, Carter gives the audience an entertaining performance. With captivating vocals, good music, and the right atmosphere, Girl-Talking! is yet another entertaining glimpse of a jazz songstress who deserves a wider audience. - All About Jazz - Mark Turner
Wes Gillespie Working in a live environment with a tight touring band offers the artist the freedom of expression which is so essential for spontaneous jazz delivery and improvisation and that is a feature of Deborah's performances throughout this new album. From the opening Rodgers and Hammerstein 'My Favourite Things' she sets the standard for what is to come to an enthusiastic and knowledgeable audience. Deborah moves uptempo with Horace Silver's 'Sister Sadie' where she bops Janis Siegel style to the bridge on this fast moving 'Four Brothers' type gem. One of my favourite tracks from the Great American Song book is 'Girl Talk', Deborah offers a dazzling mid tempo version of this Neal Hefti and Bobby Troup standard. Carmen Lundy's 'Perfect Stranger' wraps up the first set on this vibrant evening with the band moving in full swing to Deborah's inspired vocals and scatting. The killer cut for me on an album of many highlights is the cover of Donald Fagen's 'Between The Raindrops' taken from his 80's The Nightfly set which has all the subtle touches of the original but done 'JAZZ style' with Deborah powering out the lyrics and scat break. One not to miss. Two self penned cuts 'Ten Minutes In Paris' and 'Sabado' complete an excellent live set which has the 'Girl Singing'. - Euroclubdejazz.com
