Vocalist Shelley Neill with Laszlo Gardony on piano, Yoron Israel on drums and Ron Mahdi on bass

"Neill's vocal style has a built-in empathy for yearning in it, giving everything she sings a sort of blues/R&B inflection, making the interpretations uniquely her own."
All Music Guide

"Neill wears the blues well...her portrayal of sensual ballads...generates deep feeling."
LA Jazz Scene

Come and listen to music not usually associated with jazz, defined by unexpected time signatures, gorgeous melodic interludes, and punctuated by sensual and subtle rhythmic changes. With the group's newest project, Irish Eyes Gypsy Soul, experience a feast for the ears and a respite from the day-to-day stuff of life.
