“With her second album, Lyn Stanley has shown the Jazz scene that she is here to stay for quite a long time. “Potions – From The 50’s” is a highly enjoyable collection of songs, all taken from the decade that introduced us to such disparate items as “I Love Lucy”, the TV dinner, Holden Caulfield, and the Hula Hoop; where Eisenhower was President, and a change in the air was ever-looming near the end of last “innocent” decade of the 20th century.”

“Her Vocals shine in “In The Still Of The Night”, where she gets a chance to show off her sultry lower notes, sometimes beckoning the memory of Sarah Vaughan. “After The Lights Go Down Low” and “Teach Me Tonight” give Ms. Stanley an opportunity to show us her playful side, teasing us with her sexy and salty phrasings, before she goes into the end of her album with sensitive and emphatic renditions of “Misty” and “The Party’s Over” from one of the most beloved 50’s musicals, “Bells Are Ringing” by showtune-to-jazz-standard great, Jules Styne.”

“If anything in this life is certain, it is that Ms. Lyn Stanley knows how to put an album together, but more important: She knows how to leave the listener wanting more. I don’t care what decade her next album is from, as long as Ms. Stanley’s effervescent voice is singing these fine arrangements, I’ll certainly be there to hear them with anticipation.”
