The album features a many incredible soloists including Jeff Coffin, Sean Jones, Ryan Keberle, David Halliday, and Brian Woodbury. Jennifer Madsen steps confidently into the big-band arena on Girl Talk, placing her clear, theatrical jazz voice inside arrangements that treat familiar standards and pop material as scenes full of motion, humor and grown-up feeling.

The […] - [Reviews](https://brentedstrom.com/?page_id=62): Paris Move: Jennifer Madsen’s Reimagine album The best evidence comes midway through the album, on the fifth track, “Over the Sea.” Here, Edstrom strips the accompaniment to its bare essentials, leaving Madsen’s voice suspended in air. The effect is devastatingly simple and yet profoundly affecting. It is the kind of performance that reminds us why the human voice, unadorned, remains the most direct instrument of all. It is not about virtuosity. It is about sincerity, intimacy, and the ability to move an audience without adornment.
