""Sublime... A perfect album" - Alan Mercer, celebrity photographer and entertainment blogger, AMProfile

“Laura Ainsworth is breathing new life into the previously staid ‘jazz standards’ album format… With New Vintage, Laura creates a rich, intoxicating atmosphere that transports the mind to another place and time…Thank you, Laura, for making the Great American Songbook exciting and fun again! - David Gasten, Producer, "This is Vintage Now" compilation series

“…Fun from start to finish, sung with just the right approach by Ainsworth, with support by a hip band led by pianist and arranger Brian Piper. It is a smile-inducing winner!” - Joe Lang, Jersey Jazz

“Laura Ainsworth’s third album sparkles like champagne… Her voice, a satiny ribbon that seems to flow as an uninterrupted river of downbeats, is rich and distinctive, but it’s her sense of humor that catches you note after note… New Vintage is an album of reinvention, both feet planted in the present, but forever looking back.” – Arnold Wayne Jones, Dallas Voice

“Beautiful voice, expressive and sensitive, accompanied by a group with serious professionalism…An excellent album!” - Serge Warin, Radio Grand Brive, Objat, France

“With another lounge revival swinging our way, she’s right at the forefront of the revival, unearthing worthy songs that haven’t been recorded in the last 50 years, which culls her from the rest of the diva pack that think it all begins and ends with Cole Porter…Streaming like a comet out of Texas, this gal is all gal and proud of it to the tips of her opera length gloves. A must for jazzbo vocal fans.” - Chris Spector, Editor & Publisher, MidwestRecord.com

“She is able to take you back to those late-night joints with the smoky blue rooms…If you’re a dedicated fan of jazz retro vocal work, you’ll love this one…I give it a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED…” - Dick Metcalf, Contemporary Fusion Reviews

“New Vintage from swinging blues vocalist Laura Ainsworth incites listeners to grab their favorite cocktail and dim the lights while engulfed in the smooth jazz ether of her music… New Vintage embraces the vintage sounds of classic jazz and gives the genre a modern lift.” - Susan Frances – Amazon.com reviewer

“Listening to Ainsworth’s sultry, old-fashioned voice, audiences might not know that the 21st century had arrived…Ainsworth has carved a niche for herself as a singer of retro jazz. Her voice comes courtesy of a tradition forged by Rosemary Clooney, Dinah Shore and Julie London…The instrumentation is almost perfect. The sound is lush, perfectly timed, and neither overwhelms, nor hides behind Ainsworth’s voice. Overall, a great album for jazz fans looking to hear a contemporary artist put an earnest spin on classics.” - Dodie Miller-Gould, lemonwire.com
