Christy Baron

“There’s a quality to Baron’s singing, an unfiltered honesty that’s as refreshing as an early morning snowfall and fulfilling as a heartfelt compliment...
Baron lays bare each lyric, exploring the soft folds of ‘Not While I’m Around’, the self-delusional satisfaction of ‘The Lies Of Handsome Men’, and the crushing despair of ‘A House Is Not A Home’ with unilateral finesse.”
- JazzTimes Magazine

“Christy nails it... The album's highlight, hands down, is Christy's rendition of 'A House Is Not A Home.' This isn't your usual vocal jazz album. It's much more and would be an excellent addition to any collection.”

“The lady has magic in her voice! …Well versed in the R&B genre… she brings this element into her jazz and standard pop interpretations and it connects better than I’ve ever heard it connect... She pulls it off so well, enhancing the song she’s singing… She gives the finest reading of “House is Not a Home” that these ears have ever heard.”
- WRTI.org JazzPicks
“While other contemporary jazz vocalists... often overcook interpretations in cabaret schemes (showboating or playing dress-up in Ella or Billie), Baron keeps it honest, making the tunes as much about her band as herself. A worthy journey for those who enjoy vocal jazz that's consistent and fancy-free.”
- Global Rhythm Magazine
"Why don’t more people know of this truly wonderful New York City-area jazz singer who makes the Norah Joneses of the world look like choir girls?
…with a voice that is unerring in its presentation of song. Not only that, but she has a great stage presence that makes a performance seem like a gift instead of a job.”
- Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
“Thankfully, Baron realizes that great popular music didn't die with Cole Porter, and her ability to find the jazz potential in songs by the Beatles, Bill Withers, and (Stevie) Wonder is a major asset.”

Her vocal styles, her looks, and her unique determination to totally captivate her listeners are such great attributes for any performer, but Christy's ability to communicate with the listener by weaving her vocals around music is such a refreshing change.”
