Peggie Perkins Jazz Standards CD \"AT LAST\" was released June 26th 2008 and is receiving air play on various stations around the globe including The USA, Canada and Australia.
”Jazz singing is alive and well, as exemplified by the beautiful Peggie Perkins... When Perkins comes to the stage, she portrays an illustrious aura of showmanship. Her voice is sultry and ‘gets down’ with all the necessary soul very convincingly... Perkins‘ style struts and rocks through all her tunes. Her showy appearance is lovely.\"
Glenn A. Mitchell LA Jazz Scene Magazine
\"She\'s so much fun and has the musical instincts that few possess. So easy to love and with a voice you won’t forget.\"
