“…a winning throwback to the days where emotion was measured and artful…” Craig Havighurst - Tennessean

”She takes her time, smoothly caressing the melody like a gloved hand on glass. Martin has a powerful voice and is not afraid to pump pure emotion into her presentation.” Dee Dee McNeil - All About Jazz

”Carolyn Martin's new CD “Swing” is simply awesome and should hit my Top 10 almost immediately. Each and every cut will be used on my Swingin' West radio show. In addition to Carolyn sounding her usual fantastic self, the musicians and guests, many current and former band-mates from the Time Jumpers, are really cooking throughout the album. This is a sure winner.” Mike Gross - Swingin' West
