"Alexandra Frederick...did a beautiful rendition of "Sous le Ciel de Paris"..." - NitelifeExchange.com
Alex's velvety voice can soothe the most frayed soul. Her perfect pitch, heartfelt expression, and gentle humor make listening to her again and again a habit. - Broadway and Film
Lovely...a strong and expressive voice...excellent choice of songs, too. - New York Times, Downbeat
Alex is an extraordinary performer. Her combination of lively piano, jazzy vocals, and magnetic personality drew us all in to create a magical, memorable evening of entertainment. - The Garden Gables Inn, Lenox, MA
...a Jazz flower! - International Recording Artist
Alexandra Frederick has the kind of voice I can listen to for hours and never tire of hearing her. With a vocal timbre reminiscent of Julie London, but a style uniquely her own, when Alex sings, you feel all is right with the world. - Johanna, Sweeney Todd
...an outstanding vocalist and [an] excellent musician. - "Creative Jazz Improvization"
Alexandra is a mature and expressive singer...her musicality and savvy make her fun to play with. Alexandra is also a wonderful person with a great sense of humor...my highest recommendation. - Composer and Associate Director BMI Jazz Workshop
Alexandra's lovely voice and Tsuyoshi's impressive guitar playing provided the perfect atmosphere for our international guests of all musical persuasions. While rooted in American jazz, the music represented a number of cultural influences and was the perfect complement to an equally global event. Alexandra adapted her performance to meet our specific needs and was highly professional from start to finish. I would definitely work with Alexandra again and will continue to recommend her to anyone looking to add that special musical flare to any event. - Global Strategy and Economic Development
...some of the purist treble-key harmonics one could wish for. - The Upper East Side Resident
With so many jazz singers in New York City, one begins to sound like all the rest. However, the velvet, sophisticated sound of Alex Frederick's voice instantly stands out. Her theatrical approach to interpretation makes every song she sings come to life instead of only being lovely background music. A true gem in the New York City Jazz World! - Music Director, Cy Coleman, Jerry Herman
