Kari Gaffney is a Satin Doll and her Sultry voice will surely captivate you on her latest CD entilted cleverly "Satin Doll".
She has her own Identity and gives new meaning to some of the great standards like "Satin Doll""Speak Low" and "Four".
On her rendition of "Loverman" she really sounds as if she means it. It's a pleasure to sit back an listen.

Tom Macek, WRRG 88.9 Chicago, Jazzarena
They say love is lovelier the second time around.  I can't say that for sure, but I do know that Kari Gaffney's second release "Satin Doll" is just as lovely as her first.  No sophomore jinx here.  Kari comes back with another strong effort, with wonderful phrasing, exquisite choice of material and superb musical backing.  Her's is a fresh new voice on the jazz vocal scene that shouldn't be missed.  One sampling of Kari's breathy, clear and satiny style will do the trick.  Kari Gaffney's "Satin Doll"--the title describes a great standard and also a wonderful new talent on the jazz vocal scene.

Al Monroe, WNTI 91.9 FM,Hackettstown, N.J.
Kari Gaffney is an outstanding and compelling vocalist, who delivers a song whether it be a bluesy ballad or an uptempo tune with great
warmth, passion, and honesty.  She sure grabs your attention.

Paul O'Reilly, Radio Show Host WAYD, Maine  "The Bay"
It's easy to see why Kari Gaffney is gathering so many fans worldwide.  While listening to her sing, there's only one thing you long to be...closer.  She has a truly seductive tone that first calms you and then draws you in forever. Blending so many rhythms and emotions into a song is the mark of a true and natural talent.  Within the sultry tones of Kari's voice, every note becomes her own, with amazing power and a clarity that not only communicates with you, but takes you right to the heart of her world:  the Jazz world. Her newest release, "Satin Doll," is a mixture of smoky tunes, light swing and blues, and all cover a wide range of  depth and color.  She re-shapes the title tune in a way that would make Duke Ellington smile, Fred Astaire's toes would tap to "Let's Face the Music and Dance,"and I imagine the stylings of "Lover Man" would cause Billie Holiday to stick around a bit longer to hear more.  But those are just my own impressions, you'll have to hear for yourself.  The first oppportunity that comes your way, listen to Kari Gaffney, and remember the reasons you love Jazz in the first place.

Masani, "The Jazz Spot" - Georgia Public Radio
"Kari Gaffney is definitely one to watch! Her smoky vocals combined with clean spare instrumentals on her latest release "Satin Doll"
create a pleasurable soundscape. Kari's love of the music shines through undeniably on this recording."

“Satin Doll”.  That’s how Kari Gaffney presents her new CD. Through and with her “Angel Eyes” she went on to record this new CD with great crafts-womanship and skill.  The pureness and warm sound of her voice make listening to this CD a warm, lovely but also sizzling experience.  The combination of her voice with the beautiful guitar playing, ease-on of the drums and percussion, next to the smooth flute and clarinet sounds, ensures that every track of, and with,  this “Satin Doll” is a great pleasure to listen to. A suggestion for a new CD-title can only be; “Kari, A Satin Doll with Angel Eyes”.

A fresh new talent on the jazz vocal scene, Kari Gaffney has come out with an impressive debut in her “Angel Eyes” CD.  Kari exhibits phrasing, intonation and interpretative qualities in line with more experienced singers.  Yet, she knows how to sing from her heart, a vocal attribute just as important as technique.  Listen to her version of Patsy Cline’s  “Walking After Midnight”…it melts the chill from the coldest January day.   Kari is a true delight to your ears;  listen and enjoy!

Bill Botham, PR Manager, Comcast
Please allow me to take a moment to both thank you and sing your praises (pardon the pun!) for your recent appearance on Comcast Connect LIve.  "What a Wonderful Performance! I, like so many others, am amazed at the voice that pours forth.  At a glance, I expected a sweet, soft, almost timid style that I would have to turn an ear just to hear.  What I experienced was confident, powerful, emotion-filled and nothing short of overwhelming.  Your presence, style and vocal abilities have "superstar" written all over them.  I look forward to being able to say "I knew her when."
