Yes indeed!! 'Behind the Smile of Antoinette Montague is one hell of a talented jazz singer. Man, is she "smokey." Of course, having Mulgrew Miller in your back pocket on piano-assist is definitely something you can write home about. She brings to her vocalise, a combination of warmth and richness of sound on the one hand, and on the other a feeling that more is still there to be stated, said and enjoyed. Her voice is extraordinary and subtle in texture and deeply thoughtful in tone. Along with her voice's affinity for beauty and sensitiveness, there's a certain undercurrent of attendant dreamlike quality and mystery.
Her constant flow of smooth vibrato and quavers serves to bring to her delivery a fluidity and quiet vigor that is expressed in a stream of slow, relaxed and complete, thematic art. Her emotional delivery and technique contains music that is deep, thoughtful, intellectual and rich in harmony and melody.
