Recent Reviews

 "Most captivating of all is Bisantz, a gifted singer with a warm, bright, intensely vibrant voice and marvelous offhand timing. She navigates fast complicated melodies with sensuous feline ease. Her voice is a revelation, caressing and velvety, but electrically alive."   Eric Levin   People Magazine

“To say this is good is like saying that Ella Fitzgerald is just an OK singer. June has a voice only God gives a very few.
Move over Ella, Sarah and Diana, a new voice has emerged.  Barry Rosen, WHCJ-FM - Georgia

“Bisantz captures Baker's soft, intimate vocal sound, the key to making the project work. It's a vocal style completely out of step with current "diva" practice: seemingly almost casual, with no overt technical or emotional display.”   Mark Sullivan, All About Jazz

“Bisantz' horn-like phrasing floats atop the quartet's sterling accompaniment on
"It's Always You". She delivers shivers with an intonation that bears the glint of moonlit melancholy but hardly lacks for warmth…particularly when she goes it alone as she does on an a cappella read of “Spring Is Here.”  Jazziz Magazine, Art for Your Ears,

“Bisantz' smoky voice and artful sense of time are showcased as she covers a dozen tunes associated with Chet Baker”  Jazz Notes, Ken Franckling

“Bisantz leaves her own pale-moon, feminine grooves on the melodies ... gently coaxing out what was meant to be. Her vocals are soft, but embed the lyrics with a deep resonant tonality, a full-bodied residue that melts the words until there is just a groan in the aftermath of emotional collapse... There is just enough of a strum of light guitar, hand in hand with Bisantz' light, lifting vocals until the bare essence of a fan's view of Chet Baker is all you hear.”   AXS Jazz Examiner, Carol Banks Weber

 “The spectacular point of the album is the last song, June Bisantz without accompaniment. Her performance of Rodgers-Hart’s “Spring Is Here” is like a signature on a new portrait of a remarkable musician, a portrait June and her colleagues have created with “It’s Always You”.  Leonid Auskern.
