Early reviews are fantastic:
“Rebecca Kilgore’s vocal artistry has always been a source of warmth and light in the jazz world. With A Little Taste: A Tribute to Dave Frishberg, she delivers a project displaying her vocal jazz interpretation that shows the depth of her connection to the material and the man behind it. Known for her impeccable phrasing, nuanced expression, and effortless swing, Kilgore again demonstrates why she’s been a beloved figure in jazz for decades.”

“It is a beautiful album from an artist who has had a wonderful career… the overall quality of this recording is highly appreciable and well deserves to be included in our list of ‘Indispensable Albums!’”
~ Thierry De Clemensat, USA correspondent, Paris-Move Magazine, September 2024
“As you might expect, Kilgore nails each selection, nicely aided by Titterington’s fine charts… While it is hard to accept that we will be hearing no new recordings or performances by Becky Kilgore, this is a nice parting gift for her many fans.”
~ Joe Lang, in Jersey Jazz, the magazine of the New Jersey Jazz Society, October 2024
“For me, before I even put the CD into my player, one thing added interest to this recording. It was that Rebecca Kilgore is featuring the music of composer and lyricist, Dave Frishberg. Once I began to listen, the other thing noteworthy was the wonderful plush orchestrated accompaniment that enriches this production. Producer/arranger Dick Titterington knocked it out [of] the park! … This is an album full of spectacular music, great arrangements, and excellent musicianship.”
