When Elly asked me to write a review of her first CD titled “Elly” I was honored and I must say a little apprehensive, having never done a review before. I love her music and am in awe of her talent. She writes her own music and lyrics. Her voice is clear, true and very appealing. She is a jazz stylist of uncommon talent and her music is at home in my collection of great jazz musicians.

In September of 2000, Elly dropped of a number of copies of this CD at my office hoping I could sell them for her. I put the music on the CD player and a sign on the CD’s that said “You’re listening to her now.” I was sold out in two days.

    I have since played this CD numerous times and every time I play it, someone will ask where they can purchase a copy.
