“...Her shaping of pitch often foregoes the fluid note-bending of the jazz singer in favor of the full press of a sculptor’s touch against viscous clay." Ramsey Ameen, violinist with Cecil Taylor Unit, mathematician, scholar.
​
"...Nora’s voice is a brand new one for me… fresh and full of the vigor that only well-performed improvised spoken-word can bring…… as you listen to pieces like the 8:15 “Frequency ONE“, with it’s languid guitar from Dom and subtle reeds from Ras, it will all be clear – you’re in the presence of a vocal master… some beautiful echoing tones from Nora’s vocal fit very nicely into the overall piece as well… very impressive. (yes, Nora’s voice is definitely an instrument), and the trio is so “together”, you’ll think it’s scripted – FANTASTIC! I give this fine album [Manna For Thought 2017] a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, with an “EQ” (energy quotient) rating of 4.99."
