"Life of the Music largely focuses on her own lyrics and music, demonstrating
interests in the blues, straight-ahead jazz, funk, pop and Brazilian music…
with its engaging original material and intelligently crafted covers,
might just get plenty of people hooked on Lauren Hooker."
Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz
"...undeniably impressive, certainly imaginative…
flat-out masterful… has a vocal stylizing with a clarion
tone, crisp phrasing (reminiscent of Nancy Wilson and Shirley Horn), blues-accented
undercurrents, (yet) Hooker's greatest strengths lie on the other side of
the mic. As craftswoman of original tunes she can hold her own against pretty much
any singer-songwriter in the business… Christopher Loudon, Jazz Times
