with The Gina Roché Quintet
GINA ROCHÉ (singer/songwriter, guitarist, mom):
The area's premier and most versatile vocalist, Gina Roché, is known for her intensely captivating performances. Roché imbues a Brazilian flavor into her unique blend of jazz, blues and original compositions
about Gina Roche's CD "DAWNING OF A NEW WAY"
"...on the intersection of jazz, soul and Brazilian pop. This collection hits all three...She uses her lower register to kick off a snappy take of the Bill Withers classic 'Use Me.'
...Roche's voice quivers and cracks like a rhythm-and-blues stylist's on ballads. The Philly-area vocalist and Ridl take on 'The Shadow of Your Smile' as an aching love song,
and give 'Summertime' a sly reworking..." - Philadelphia Inquirer
