“Elevation captures the essence of modern jazz in the mindset of a talented and exciting new prospect that is Sophia Smith.”
“...a unique blend of modern jazz, with a foot in the tradition and the other going forward, and beautiful little melodies, that, together with her clear sound on the alto makes the music positive and uplifting. The groups improvisations, as an ensemble or individual, are faultless and are enhancing each composition. A very promising debut album from a band to watch out for!!!!”
