What People Are Saying
“Lesa’s solos burned urgent beauty…”
Jazz Times
“An easeful but authoritative violinist. Her strong lyrical jazz style made me want to hear more of her.”
Nat Hentoff
“Terry’s bluesy ‘Sugar Shuffle’ is a virtuosic showcase for the composer/soloist, who improvises with the intuition of a Marsalis (any of them).”
San Antonio Light
“Terry is most ‘vocal.’ All her solos could have been sung. What she does with ‘Moose the Mooche’ by Charlie Parker is as fine a be-bop solo as this listener has ever heard.”
Music In Jersey/New Jersey Examiner
“Terry’s ‘Midnight Child’ is based on ‘Motherless Child’ but, for all practical purposes, is a new and exquisite work. Her solo violin playing was magnificently expressive; her sumptuous tone and perfect pitch were enriched by the flattened infections of the blues.”
