Q U O T E S
“He radiates an appealing sense of joy!”
The New York Post
“He’s a wildly accomplished blues-pop-jazz performer with a soulful intensity and movie-star sex appeal. Mr. Santoro takes risks and lands on his feet every time. I can’t imagine who his idols are because he sounds completely original.”
Rex Reed — New York Observer
“…uncontrivedly hip, combining the improvisational imagination and rhythmic flexibility of jazz with the emotional appeal of pop.”
The Times of London
“There are few things a critic likes more than to discover a rising new talent who shows great promise. Such is the case with jazz-pop dynamo Steven Santoro.”
John Hoglund — Back Stage
“The impassioned vocals of singer songwriter Steven Santoro contain more than a hint of the jazzy side of Stevie Wonder. Pop, jazz and R&B collide in a very palatable combination on the crooner’s recording ‘Whisper My Name’. Backed by the ultra-sensitive piano of Jon Cowherd, the brokenhearted bass of James Genus and the whispery brush-drumming of Clarence Penn, Santoro could hardly miss on the wistful ‘I’ll Be Here’, as he calls up deep emotions in this declaration of devotion. ‘So when you hear this song at first/I hope you feel my young heart burst,’ he sings to his lover. And Really, how could she not?”
Jazziz
(Whisper My Name) “…one elegant piece of jazz vocals performed by a talented songwriter.”
