This gives a fun feel for a decade of recording, growth and creativity!
"Ms. Hatley is well gifted with a beautiful voice, to my way of thinking, her diction and enunciation are excellent and she is truly of high professional caliber. Hatley's keen harmonic sense is highly apparent. I admire her ability to play around with melodies and in this connection her intonation is right on target. Her rendition of my "Shinny Stockings" is quite enjoyable in all these respects. I must say Bravo Baby!" ~ Frank B. Foster (saxophonist/arranger/conductor, Count Basie Orchestra)
