What People Are Saying About Tessa's Music:
"Magnificent! I couldn't stop playing it over and over!"
JON LUCIEN, SOUL JAZZ VOCALIST AND COMPOSER
"Talented English jazz singer who runs her set through various kinds of territory."
NEW YORK TIMES
"British-Caribbean jazz vocalist Tessa Souter brings new life to time-honored standards, while also mining a creative spark from the unlikeliest quarters -- Sting's 'Fragile', Pharoah Sanders' 'The Creator Has A Master Plan', even Rodrigo's 'Concierto de Aranjuez.'"

LOS ANGELES TIMES (LIVE REVIEW)
"Listen Love marks the debut of an important new jazz singer."
WPKN-FM RADIO

LOS ANGELES WEEKLY
