5 out of 5 stars Sugar Cream.......2007-07-02

Wendy Colonna's "Right Where I Belong" is a strong set. Fans of Bonnie Raitt's soulful blues-flavored sound will find a new friend. The title track is a catchy midtempo charmer with a sweet melody and a darker tone in the lyric, "Chasing your tail, you know they tell you success is just a few hard breaks away, heartache to heartache, I ain't feeling like I'm healing & I know there's a better way." Wayne Sutton's guitar on "Sail On" squeezes the juice out of his electric guitar as Wendy's wistful vocals float effortlessly to produce an excellent sound. "Coffee Today" is a sad ballad of remembrance, "Tangled hair & jaded dreams, water spoons & sugar creams, you woke me up & now I seem asleep today." "October" aches softly with Wendy's lovely refrain, "Would you come back home?" The CD ends on a high note with "Nothin Gonna Take My Love" with Eldridge Goins sounding like he's beating out Indian war drums on Wendy's declaration of love. There are no weak tracks on the CD with some excellent gems to treasure. Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Incredible.......2005-11-03

Wendy's third album is by far her best to date. Her song "Coffee Today" was fantastic on her second album "Red." She improved it tremendously for "Right Where I Belong." The new version is fuller and richer. This one song is reason enough to buy this album and the rest of the album will not disappoint you either. This CD is in my regular listening rotation. Everyone who has heard this CD has loved it.

5 out of 5 stars Sultry, sweet, salty, wonderful!.......2005-10-07

I'm deeply involved in music and have a huge collection to choose from, and yet here plucky l'il Wendy Colonna has actually made a CD that I listen to every day. The thing is, a lot of women can sing and write songs, but Wendy's got Something else, something that is so direct and touching, the true essence of soul, and there's nothing in between it and her music. I don't just love this album and her singing, I truly respect its songwriting. Wendy is real. She's not packaged, and there's everything from the soul-filling defiance of the blues-based Nothing's Going To Take My Love, to the musing wistful sweetness of May Day, all expressed in her amazing sultry, soulful, exuberant voice and the inspired musical arrangements of her highly talented band. No whining, here- just great, highly original soul/roots/rock/funk. I highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful and Beautiful.......2005-09-27

Wonderful, Beautiful, and Talented can only describe Wendy Colonna. Right Where I Belong is a wonderful album that you can listen to over and over. Thank you Wendy for such beautiful music.

5 out of 5 stars wow...just wow.......2005-09-19

I don't know how Wendy manages to be simultaneously so dark and brooding and yet so hopeful and inspiring. She sings with an achingly beautiful voice that makes sorrow as sultry and inviting as joy.

That doesn't mean its a downer - it walks that line of setting a haunting mood without wallowing in it. It's a rainy-day/long- drive/late-night-while-drinking-alone-in-a-dark-room album that never goes to far - for every equisite expression of pain (Vacancy, October) there's an equally powerful expression of recovery and triumph - the you-f***ed up a good thing attitude of Mayday, the glass-half-full argument of Easy, the thankful prayer of empowerment that is Nothing Going to Take My Love, and the self-explanatory title track, Right Where I Belong)

This isn't the self-indulgent friend you avoid while she goes through her painful breakup because she's going to wallow in self-pity, this is the self-aware friend you want to drink with while she goes through her painful breakup because you know she's going to wallow in self-discovery, and if you listen close you know you'll learn something...

Product Description

Lauren Hooker's critically acclaimed debut CD "Right Where I Belong" with Rufus Reid on the bass, Allen Farnham on piano and Tim Horner on drums and percussion, features jazz standards, original compositions, as well as her own lyrics set to Monk, Mingus, Wayne Shorter, Fats Waller and Mal Waldron. (read reviews below). Within the third week of radio airplay, Lauren was at the top of the chartbound list of jazz CDs played across the nation and in Canada according to jazzweek. A featured guest on WKCR's "Jazz Alternatives" 89.9 FM with Host Sharif Abdul Salaam and The Joey Reynolds Show on WOR 710 AM both located in NYC, Lauren's debut CD continues to receive heavy airplay on both internet and radio stations here and abroad. Lauren is not just a singer. She is a consummate musician. Her unique and special talent was recognized early in life and it has developed into the sophisticated, hip vocalist, composer, lyricist and producer she is today. She came onto the jazz scene in the early 80's, fresh out of Fairleigh Dickinson University with a degree in Music Education. Lauren continued post-graduate work in jazz theory with pianist Kenny Barron at Rutgers University, jazz voice with Sheila Jordan at the Manhattan School of Music, private studies in jazz piano with Keith McDonald and vocal coach Paul Gallagher and most recently, a jazz vocal workshop with Bobby McFerrin and his "Voicestras" vocal ensemble. She has been featured in many major venues in the New York metropolitan area including Sweetwaters, the West End Café, The 55 Bar, Trumpets, Lounge Zen, the Angry Squire, as well as in the Dewar's Festival, Greenwich Village Jazz Festival and most recently at the International Women in Jazz Festival at St. Peter's Church in NYC.

5 out of 5 stars Lauren Hooker: A Consummate Artist.......2007-06-30

There are few musicians with the depth of training that Lauren Hooker has. She is highly respected in the New York music scene not only for her admirable qualities as a jazz vocalist (she is one of the best before audiences today!), but she is also a composer, a creative lyricist, and an innovator in a field of luminaries.

On this CD, appropriately named 'Right Where I Belong', Lauren Hooker is finally available to those of us on the West Coast who know her only by reputation. Here she works with Allen Farnham, piano, Rufus Reid, bass, and Tim Horner, drums and percussion - the perfect set of superb musicians that supply all the atmosphere and zest Hooker sets in her styling. She has an incredible vocal range, able to carry her irresistible scat singing into the stratosphere (as in 'You'd be so nice to come to') while at the same time dipping into the contralto range for her special imprints on songs such as 'The other side of the sun'.

This is a well balanced album, one that allows us to sample the many aspects of Hooker's talent. She is clearly a force to contend with and it is rewarding to finally have a CD that will bring her to the appreciation of a wider audience. Lauren Hooker is right where she belongs - here!
