What They're Saying

Stephanie was recently nominated for 2006 "Best Jazz Artist of the North Bay". Winners will be announced at the NORBAY Music Awards, at the Health and Harmony Festival, June 9-11, 2006. Phone: 707- 861-2035 www.harmonyfestival.com.

Stephanie was written up in Keyboard Magazine (www.keyboardmag.com) as Unsigned Artist of the Month, November issue, 2005. "Stephanie's own composition, 'Bronx to Brasil' is a standout..." "Close your eyes, listen to Leny's and Stephanie's collaboration on the opening track, 'Meu Pais', and feel the breeze off of Ipanema Beach."

"For her album, "O Começo: New Beginnings in Brazilian Jazz", Sonoma based pianist-composer Stephanie Ozer went to Rio (and Berkeley) to record with the renowned Leny Andrade, who does four songs. Ozer is an exquisite talent who evokes the influences of Manfredo Fest and others." (Chuy Varela, writer and host of KCSM's "Brazilian Nights on the Bay, San Francisco Chronicle, Sunday, August 21, 2005. This was part of Chuy's article surveying Brazilian music in the Bay Area, "Brazilian Pulse Pounds the Bay Area". )

"...the CD, a romantic album of bossas and sambas ... eloqently displays Ozer's tasteful piano style....eloquent and precise...strong rhythmic approach with subtle harmony...sensitive accompanist...especially strong rapport with guitarist Randy Vincent.. " (Forrest Bryant, All About Jazz, Sept 1, 2005.)

"I was knocked out by this CD. The choice of tunes, the playing, the singing all very fun to listen to. When I can put a CD in my car and listen to it over and over - I call that a find. Stephanie's musical sensibility is very artistic and multidimensional within a genre that I love." (Stephanie Bruce - international jazz vocalist, composer and educator.)

"Stephanie Ozer is a very talented and inspired pianist who has infused her musicality with the Brazilian vibe. Her choice of material, good harmonic taste and sensitive interpretations are a joy to listen to. She has captured the rhythmic drive of samba without losing her beautiful touch at the keys. I totally recommend "O Começo" to all listeners..." - Jovino Santos Neto, Pianist, Composer, Musicologist

"Pianist-composer Stephanie Ozer...is an exquisite talent..." - Jesse Chuy Varela , SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE; host of KCSM "Brazilian nights on the bay"
