“We talk about Catherine Summers off-air and both feel the same way about her talent! Apart from accurate pitch and beautifully controlled vibrato, she has the style and maturity to carry off the Great American Songbook compositions – just like her US idols.” – Ann Bolton & Ken Turnbull, Jazz Life Main FM 94.9 Victoria
