AllAboutJazz.com LOVES Sara! This week features a free track downloadable at the site, where the editor says it's "One of the best vocal tracks I've featured this year." There are also two new reviews! A track review by C. Michael Bailey who says "On Secret Love, Leib displays a potent and unique arranging ability, one that recasts standards into a very edgy adult contemporary paradigm. These are not mere makeovers, they are all-out reconsiderations of the Great American Songbook...Leib's voice is excellent in this setting". The other review, by Dan Bilawsky, says "Leib is a captivating talent, possessing admirable arranging skills and a flexible voice capable evoking smiles, sighs or sadness, depending on the topic at hand...Secret Love is a sign of all that is right about vocal jazz today." Thanks All About Jazz.com! Read the article here:http://bit.ly/HJDHFl

Midwest Record.com posts another lovely review of the new album, "Secret Love"!
"...a dandy, straight up jazz vocal date that's hard to resist. There's nothing about these classic numbers from different quadrants that's done by the numbers. Leib is a smart new vocalist whose arrival is overdue. Check it out."
