Incarnation contemporaine des grandes voix féminines du jazz des années 1920, 1930 et 1940, Alex Pangman est reconnue à juste titre comme la « Canada's Sweetheart of Swing », une voix exceptionnelle capable d'exprimer toute l'élégance, la beauté et la sensualité de l'âge d'or des cabarets jazz enfumés de l'Amérique des années folles.
Ce que la critique en pense... <I>"In Alex Pangman's musical world, hot tunes flow like bathtub gin in a back-alley speakeasy. She roars through a repertoire of vintage swing and blues, possessed by the coltish spirit of a young Mildred Bailey or Ella Fitzgerald. There are champagne bubbles in Pangman's voice as she growls, sighs and wears her heart on her sleeve. There's a lot of nudging and winking with today's neo-trad jazz stylists. Not Pangman. She plays it straight and she plays for keeps."</I>- The Montreal Gazette <I>"It would be hard to find a box of musical bonbons more beguiling than this collection of post-Jazz Age treats...Her earnest vocals and sharp Alleycats band make each song sparkle."</I>
- Toronto Star review by John Terauds <I>"Alex is without a doubt one of the best interpreters of material dating back to the early roots of jazz. She sings with conviction and like Mildred Bailey in the early 1930's Alex has a means of setting benchmarks for the music and has developed a style that is instantly recognizable."</I>
- Jazz Canadiana <I>"La crème du jazz Canadien"</I>
- CBC's Radio Canada <I>"It's time-travel magic whenever Alex Pangman breathes into a microphone and evokes the great jazz femmes of the 1920s, 30s and 40s."</I>
- The Toronto Star <I>"I think Alex Pangman is one of Canada's national treasures. Her music is timeless, her voice is priceless, and I can't think of anyone I'd rather listen to..."</I>
- Jaymz Bee, JAZZ.FM91 <I>"Dommage qu'il n'y ait que 11 titres sur l'album et non 33 car on ne se lasse pas d'écouter la voix enjouée, charmeuse, coquine et même un peu racoleuse de Pangman."</I>
- pieuvre.ca <I>"I have rarely been so knocked out by a first impression of a singer as I was with Alex Pangman. She's the greatest current exponent of the classic American song."</I>
