STEPHEN HOLDEN of the NEW YORK TIMES said in his 9-9-15 review of Nancy and “Ellington At Night” (Sept. 6th performance):
“…..A tough, demanding swinger emerged in up-tempo numbers like “Long, Strong, and Consecutive” and “Just Squeeze Me,” which she delivered as assertive instructional songs on sexual etiquette…..Ms. Harms revealed the determination of a strong, independent woman who knows what she wants…. her renditions were stream-of-consciousness reflections by a singer reining in emotions until they exploded from within. …The final impression left by Ms. Harms was of a complicated enigmatic woman of mystery forging her own path.”
