"I love every minute of it! 'Girls, Moms and Me' captures
the essence of Lynne & Mike's talent and chemistry!" - Michael Feinstein

uplifting and unforgettable." - Paul Theroux
"Glorious!" - Dave Frishberg

"Like a fine, old wine, Lynne and Mike keep getting
better and better. Steve Allen was so right when he said that
no one else has ever done so much and with such warmth in
singing these Gershwin songs. It is a gem!" - The
Sun Sentinel, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
"Mike and Lynne present the music of George and Ira
Gershwin in an impassioned live performance which will move
you to tears. Interspersed with the music is just the right
amount of narration plus a little banter from this straight-to-your-heart
husband and wife team. The music ranges from George's
first hit, Swanee, to his last composition, fittingly titled
Love Is Here To Stay. And love is what Mike and Lynne invest
in every note. Five stars." - George Fendel, Jazzscene
"Beyond category," It's been said of Duke. It is
equally true of Lynne Jackson and Mike Palter. Jazz? Cabaret?
Who cares! They are talented performers - Lynne on piano,
Mike on bass, both on vocals-who cherish and understand the
American Songbook. Here it's Gershwin: "Embraceable You,"
"Love is Here to Stay," "'S Wonderful."
Gem after gem, with my favorites being the melding of "Someone
to Watch Over Me" and "Somebody Loves Me"and
that glorious "Porgy and Bess." This live performance
was recorded privately for an elderly friend who could not
attend. We are fortunate that it has been issued. Listening
to Lynne on piano is a workshop for accompanists! - Bill
Falconer
"Heartwarming...a more loving tribute to Gershwin
does not exist on my shelves." - Jim Gavin, Author
of "Intimate Nights, The Golden Age of New York Cabaret"

. . . a CD which will be appreciated by discriminating music
lovers." - Barbara Carroll

to have this landmark work of art. Your Gershwin concert is

"Caviar!" The
Hollywood Reporter
"They are an American resource
. . . They are spellbinders." R.C. Smith - The Durham Morning Herald
"Between
Mike and Lynne (IMHO), there is enough talent to fuel the
fires of the recording industry for the next five years. .
. . Mike reminds me a lot of Bobby Short, and Lynne's part
Anita O'Day, part Carol Sloane, but the comparison really
does them an both an injustice since for the most part they
are original." oe Berg - The Frank Sinatra List Home
