"It should be noted that like Lester Young, Bill Evans, and other of the more lyrical players, Pamela York plays each melody with a singer's grace and vibrancy. She plays music rather than technique."

"Subtlety and service to the music are Pamela York's hallmarks."
Willard Jenkins, Insights Online Reviews

"Canadian-born Pamela York is the ultimate pianist. Her performance set a precedent for what was to become one of the finest displays of pure, unadulterated jazz ever seen in Houston. The trio performed a cornucopia of tunes ranging from those of Gershwin to Pamela York originals. Pamela has a subtle style about her, yet she is able to draw her audiences in with each melodic note. Her touch on the keys is light and effortless, yet she is able to convey her message with a voice and style that is uniquely hers. While playing tunes made famous by some of the legendary masters, Pamela York makes her own statement without being a pretender."

"Pamela York's opening track is the tuneful “I Hear Music” which aptly describes what the listener experiences with abundant pleasure from the CD. Ms. York has assembled an appealing list of selections to interpret in her own lyrical, swinging fashion consisting of half timeless standards and half her own creations. Illuminating her deep musicality, she included her intimacy with the blues on “Mama's Midnight Hour” and “Sphere of Influence” (which are a gas to listen to). Bassist Lynn Seaton lives up to his usual buoyant strengths and Sebastian Whittaker's drums are a great fit. From York's impressive solo piano and two appealing vocals, to her trio and quartet (via guitarist Mike Wheeler on three tunes), she is articulate in varied tempos and nuances. Pamela York is a formidable jazz musician with a bright future. I hear much music, and so will you."
