“Claire is a fabulous singer, able to punch across these songs with authority and conviction like they were her own. She is a natural bandleader, always encouraging the audience to sing along, get up and dance (and by the end, many of us were, even in the tight, sold-out Ellington) and wring every ounce of love for the soul greats”
