Press clippings (translated)
“Pure happiness for the ears, the hands and the feet. Because these ladies motivate movement in all directions!
Taking turns on stage, they give to the public a splendid lesson in groove. Alternating between renditions of (‘Street Life’, ‘Higher Ground’) and a few originals, among which a splendid song written for Nelson Mandela, performed by Nona Hendryx, they boosted the Arena!
Never in the annals of the NICE JAZZ FESTIVAL has there been such an entertaining show of over 2 hours & 15 minutes! Moreover, the brilliant idea to fi nish their concert with the mythical ‘Lady Marmalade’. The public’s excitement was raised by one man who recognized the fi rst notes and ‘cordial’ invitation: ‘Voulez-vouz couchez avec moi, ce soir?’”
“Six tigresses scratching from the stage, alternate themselves in wonderful single, pairs and trios. Three of them are star daughters of soul, Simone (Smooth Simone) is daughter of Nina Simone, Lalah Hathaway is daughter of Donny Hathaway and Milini Khan daughter of Chaka Khan. The genetics work. The other three are: Nona Hendryx , that put her voice in the feminine group Labelle, with that achieved a success with Lady Marmalade; Joyce Kennedy, who is one of the main voices of Mothers Finest, considered at its time, one of the best bands of the world; and Sandra St.Victor,who put her voice & songwriting on recordings of Curtis Mayfi eld, Chaka Khan, Daryl Hall, Prince and Roy Ayers.”
“Such an accumulation of infl uences biological & professional turns them a dynamic experience that is unfolded in all type of formats (single, pair, trios, to choir...). A vibrant feminine vocal celebration.”
