What the critics say about You Can See Forever:
‘At a Lee Gibson performance you know that you’re in the presence of an artist with both deep musical intuition and well-trained skill and professionalism. Her control over her voice as she moves from warm intimacy to soaring power is a joy to hear. I rate her 1993 CD ‘You Can See Forever’ as one of the best recordings by a British jazz singer.’
Chris Howes ‘JAZZ NOTES’
‘A very welcome reissue of Gibson’s similarly titled 1993 album, this varied and engaging set finds the singer in customary fine voice. There is about her work clarity of diction and leanness of phrasing that is especially attractive. Her interpretation of lyrics is eloquent and she swings lithely. The arrangements are effective and uncluttered and all the instrumentalists on hand do a very good job. There are no weak moments and some, such as the first track teaming of two different songs with the same title (by Dave Grusin and Thad Jones respectively A Child is Born and later teamings of compatible songs work very well indeed. Nice sound completes a package that I can happily recommend.’
