"It's a borderless, cacophonous, in-your-face experiment in tone poetry and free-form expression.
It's tough. It's gutsy. It's brilliant."
--Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes
"Complex, ambitious record…we can add Victor to the Betty Carter family of jazz singers,
if we could find anyone else to fill out a family." (A-)
--Tom Hull, Village Voice
"...actually stretches the definition of jazz vocals”
--JazzWise, UK
"Victor is the traffic director of a group methodology that surges into the interstellar regions of sound."
--Glenn Astarita, New & Noteworthy Monthly Column
March 2007, www.allaboutjazz.com
"Taking jazz singing forward with a unique form of expression, Fay Victor delivers with authority.
She reaches out with open arms to celebrate the freedom that comes with singing what you feel."
--Jim Santella, Cadence
"CARTWHEELS THROUGH THE COSMOS is that rarity amongst contemporary vocal jazz releases:
an album that doesn’t rely on a tired repertoire and looks, instead, for innovation in every corner.
The beauty of Victor…is her blending of soulful delivery with avant-garde tactics.
Her fearless exploration of a myriad of musical nexus points makes Cartwheels Through the Cosmos
an album for those who normally stay away from vocal jazz."
--John Kelman, allaboutjazz.com
"I love it. It's very special what you are doing. It's a killer band and the whole concept is just fantastic!"
--Dave Douglas, Trumpeter
