Donatelli's warm and confident vocals are flawless throughout the session exuding a freshness that is rarely heard on vocal jazz CDs.
Ken Dryden, All About Jazz
She's the 'real deal', and in my mind, she ranks in the very upper eschelon of modern vocal artists.
Brad Stone, Music Director KSJS-FM
Denise Donatelli beyond a shadow of a doubt establishes herself as one of the brightest vocal stars on the horizon. 'What Lies Within' is a recording of astounding depth, with exciting arrangements by pianist-producer Geoffrey Keezer and imaginative performances by all involved.
Tom Ineck, bermanmusicfoundation.org
Donatelli will move and groove you. What Lies Within? Talent swing and a heartfelt way with word.
