Crabbe's Ella Fitzgerald-like vibe glows"... 
​Downbeat Magazine (2011 release HOME)
​
​"...an exceptionally gifted artist who must surely appeal to all who love good jazz singing..."   
Bruce Crowther - JAZZ JOURNAL (UK)

"Shirley Crabbe is a musical bridge that each listener will find sturdy, beautiful, cement strong and comfortable to walk across. Her voice is a charming way to bring us all together" - Dee Dee Mcneil

"Shirley Crabbe possesses one of the finest voices that we’ve heard in some time."  - The Jazz Page

Some vocalists excel at lyric interpretation. ​

​They know how to tell the story of a song with subtlety and nuance. Other singers have such beautiful voices that they’d be a pleasure to listen to if they sang the periodic table set to a Brahms lullaby. It’s not easy to say which is SHIRLEY CRABBE’s strength, since she possesses both those talents in equal measure. Now, BRIDGES, her newest CD and follow-up to her 2011 debut release Home, re-affirms Crabbe’s position as a rising star in the jazz firmament.  Read more
