Bonnie J Jensen - Blue Joy (2004)

"Jensen is that rarest of things in Australian singers - a full blooded, grown up sexy woman unafraid to let her passions and eroticism inform her music in a sophisticated way, beyond the usual raunchy, bluesy stuff."---SHANE NICOLS, THE AUSTRALIAN FINANCIAL REVIEW, FEBRUARY 2004

Rating: Outstanding

"A Choice Modern Vocal Album Focused on the Moment."

"Bonnie J Jensen exudes a rich vocal quality she can use freely in all ranges. In "Blue Joy" she displays her ability to sing any type of song. Young jazz fans will find this album very appealing. She is that rare kind of talent
who is both a superb singer and a talented original composer. Knowing how popular she is, the Grand Hyatt at Roppongi Hills featured her last year soon after opening. They knew the Japanese guests would appreciate her talent.

She has sung at first class hotels and top lounges around the world, but you will not find her singing with the exaggerated shouts or the fanciful coquetry that club singers are prone to. In that regard, she surely has the grace of someone from 'down under'.

Her very fine backing consists of tenor sax, flute, flugel horn, trumpet, guitar and rhythm section, whose splendid solo performances can be heard throughout. In that
sense too, I rate this highly as a choice example of a modern vocal album."---KEIICHI BABA, SWING JOURNAL, Japan, April 2004
