"Providence Phoenix, September 1, 2000
A PASSION PLAY
Jennifer Minuto and "the emotional thing"
BY BOB GULLA
"When talking with Jennifer Minuto, you get an idea that music is not so much a vocation but a destiny, a place she knows at which she'll arrive no matter what the conditions or obstacles. Unlike many potential career musicians, Jennifer holds no doubt about it. She was born to play, born to sing, born to write. And when you see her do any one of those things, you'll beleive in her and in her quest. There are musicians and there are obsessive practitioners. Jennifer Minuto qualifies as the latter."
