Press : What the Critcs Say about Eden Atwood

“…Atwood is the real thing. She’s the kind of singer that gets into more than just your head.”
Bill Kohlhaase, contributor, LA Times, LA Weekly, Downbeat

“Eden Atwood is one of the best young singers on the scene today and she gets better all the time.”
Jerome Wilson, Cadence

“Voices like hers come around once in a lifetime.”
Joe Kings and Kurt Wecker, Albion News

“Eden Atwood is one of the most promising young singers to emerge on the jazz scene in a decade.
Ken Dryden, Chattanooga News-Free Press

“A hot, hip chanteuse tending to the cool stuff.”
Michael Killian, Chicago Tribune

“Nothing short of spectacular.”
Michael Logan, TV Guide

“In a culture that has demoted lyrical beauty, Eden Atwood’s voice lends dignity. Her promise lends quiet hope.”
Jim Merod, Jazz News

“Atwood is a gifted singer with a sublime, delicate delivery, that is sometimes breathy, always nicely nuanced, always under complete control; a singer with an obvious passion for her craft. Her sad and sultry take Berlin's "How Deep is the Ocean" that will make you cry or fall in love with Atwood, maybe both.”
Dan McClenaghan- AllAboutJazz.com

“Eden Atwood paints with an uncommonly rich vocal palette. Smooth, saucy, seductive, or soaring, cool, coy, plaintive or just plain down and dirty, Eden Atwood and The Last Best Band can do it all, and all with infectious joy.”
Edwin Dobb- Writer, Harpers Magazine

“Eden brings to mind the muscle and ribald emphasis of Etta James and Ernestine Anderson, the warmth and conviction of Sarah Vaughan, the honesty of Irene Kral, the acrobatics of Betty Carter, the fragility of Billie Holiday. Eden Atwood is the real thing.”
Bill Kohlhaase, writer, LA Times, Tributary

“Eden Atwood is a remarkable young singer, we can only look forward to what the future will bring.”
David Zych, JazzTimes

“It would seem that Eden Atwood is simply destined for stardom.”
Jerri Snyder, Victory Review

“In the vanguard of the best is Eden Atwood, a pretty, willowy woman with a lovely, refreshing voice, perfect intonation, ineffable swing, and a talent for writing and composing.”
Leslie Gourse, author of Louis’ Kids

“A gifted and lovely singer.”
Downbeat

“Eden Atwood has a voice that is many things -- seductive, plaintive, sensitive, gifted with perfect intonation and phrasing, and entertaining. Each song is lovingly sung with much emotion and sensitivity. ”
Lee Prosser- jazzreview.com

“Eden's voice is clear and beautiful and smart and sexy. It's a delight, finding such freshness in the midst of such sophistication, like a Charlie Russell painting in Paris.”
Bill Bevis- Writer, The Last Best Place, Ten Tough Trips
