ErikaKertesz

There are plenty of voices on the Hungarian jazz scene, a lot of them good. But there's one new voice that will grab your attention the way the others won't. It's the voice of Erika Kertész.
What's different about it? Hard to say. Is it the throaty, soothing mezzo range? Or the melancholy sincerity of her interpretations? Is it the pure intonation, the expressive bending of the blue notes, or maybe the clarity of her English pronunciation?
All of those things, to be sure. But it's got that special something that you just can't put your finger on. And it's got the magnetism that will draw you in, quietly, but surely.
