WHAT IS LOVE
Release Date: February 2, 2010
Description
The more I listened to Queen Esther, the more I wanted to listen to Queen Esther. The band is one of the top jazz ensembles around, the songs from Hopkins are deliciously memorable and well written and Queen Esther’s performance is an instant classic. She seems to bring her amazing voice from the very core of her soul and owns every song she sings. This is the best jazz album I’ve heard this year.
— Don Sechelski, Muse’s Muse
