 “Like a storybook marriage, [Thorson and Seung’s] combined talents bring out the best in each other. The sound they create is a fresh sense of lyrical abstraction. Always lyrical, never atonal (well, almost never) she creates mystery, flirtation, heartbreak, celebration—the gamut of emotions often without using any words at all.”—Chuck Graham, Tucson Citizen 

 "I love [Out to Sea]. Lisa has one of the purest voices singing today. If it were a just world, she would be a star.” ---Steve Rubin, KZYX/KZYZ 

 

"Resonance" Reviews

"Sometimes we all need a wake-up call to true talent.  That slap in the face arrived recently with the release of Resonance, by (Lisa Thorson).  Blessed with a voice that drips pure honey and a fine sense of phrasing Lisa Thorson reveals herself to be a songstress of uncommon heart and feeling."
             Willard Jenkins - Open Sky

"Thorson and her musical collaborators swing brightly through this hugely enjoyable set, never misplacing a breath or hand.  I am happy to commend this CD to you unreservedly."
             Bruce Crowther - Jazz Journal
