REVIEWS GALORE:

Here’s just a snapshot of what the press has been saying about this release:

“2014 has already been a triumphant year for female jazz vocalists. China Lane, the debut album from singer-songwriter and violinist Alice Zawadzki, may just be the most exciting of a rich crop. Zawadzki is a distinctive and individual presence, both as a singer and as a writer, and her own diverse background and immersion in different cultures makes for a compelling and entrancing listen. This is inclusive music that deserves to be heard.”
4 Stars, Music OMH

“On China Lane, Zawadzki sounds like Zawadzki—it’s a sound that’s definitely worth hearing. A strong debut, the arrival of a musician with a distinctive voice and songwriting style.”
All About Jazz

“The album was recorded over an extended period of five years, and in so doing captures the distinctiveness and breadth of Zawadzki’s musical endeavours.”
Bebop Spoken Here

“Zawadzki, with her highly expressive voice, can switch at will from sounding like a pop singer on the title track to immersing herself in the Sephardic folk of ‘Dicho Me Habian Dicho’, in equal measure… a promising debut.”
Marlbank

Check out a track from the album below.

And readers of JazzUK will see she’s had a nice feature, clipped below.  “As a showcase of what Zawadzki can do China Lane is superb and Zawadzki clearly has a great deal to offer.”

Stay tuned as we’ll have much more from Alice soon, including some new videos!
