Testimonials:
"Monica Hatch and her disc, "If You Never Come To
Me", with its winning take on standards and sambas
quickly places Hatch near the top of the local vocal
pack." Bob Blumenthal, Boston Globe
"She is one of the rare musicians who breeze between
the jazz and classical worlds. Jazz fans may catch
flashes of Ella's candid innocence as well as Carmen's
debonair sangfroid. Classical fans may note the
influence of her teacher, soprano Eleanor Steber, in
matters of superb diction and legato phrasing..." Fred
Bouchard, JazzTimes Magazine
"Beautiful music
from a beautiful singer! Sheila Jordan, Jazz Vocalist
"Hatch, in the difficult coloratura soprano role
created by Alice Babs in the Second Sacred Concert,
soared on her four features and was particulary
outstanding in duo with Paul Schmeiling on "T.G.T.T."
and playing against Dave Chapman's alto sax
reflections of Johnny Hodges on "Heaven".
Bob Blumenthal, Boston Globe
