The ‘Sistas’ presentations include tone portraits of the current times, reflections of women’s culture and a celebration of family traditions. The ensemble’s first recording received overwhelming critical acclaim with the press saying; “ ....there’s enough energy in Firey String
Sistas to fire up a constellation....deeply personal, naturally expressive playing....whets the appetite for further releases.” - Raul da Gama (Jazz daGama ). “,….eight fun and swingingoriginals. The team literally shows pluck...a treat” -George Harris (Jazz Weekly) “ ..... a charming and delectable work by .. supremely talented musicians. It is simultaneously accessible and sophisticated, poignant and erudite and, as such, should have a wide appeal. It certainly whets the appetite for more to come…..” -Hrayr Attarian (All About Jazz) . After the success of CD “That’s What She Said" , the Firey String Sistas have begun to record their sophomore CD with dedications to icons, Maxine Waters, Michelle Obama and Mal Waldon This CD also includes surprise features of renowned Jazz artists sprinkled in.
