Nathalie Matteau

“Her music is European at the core, using blues and blue notes only for emphasis. A brilliant tuba takes the lowdown with a voice as nuanced as the lace of smoke from an ashtray brimming with the smoldering embers torched after ecstasy. (…) This is music from another time and place to my ears”
– Billy Sheppard – Billy's Bunker reviews
