Sasha Is Sensational !, April 13 2011

When I purchased this concert I was not really sure what to expect in terms of it being different from her usual show, but I must say I was just really, really pleased. This show clearly demonstrates why "B" is above and beyond her contemporaries in the business...why she is a consummate artist. First of all, unlike many of those contemporaries, she really can SING.

The tune is a sleek, seductive, soulful, siren song, and I just love it. The acoustic piano and horn arrangements are exquisite complement. The composition is one of my favorites… Read more
