every moment of the song. Her voice is thick like a summer
rain ... sumptuous playing.”
-- Justin Hayford, The Chicago Reader
“Menzie’s warm voice and unerring phrasing give dimension
and vitality to music...in Menzie’s voice and trained fingers
on piano, her music dances and aches with life.”
-- Deborah Sederberg, News Dispatch

(we always knew she could sing) but also a well-grounded
characterization. Her Bus From Amarillo is a truly touching
moment.”
-- Marsha Fulmer, Elkhart Truth

Menzie, Chicago’s ‘diva-in-demand,’ has released her long-awaited
debut disc Heart & Soul, and it is a
heartfelt and soulful musical experience.”
