"Ultimately, Big, Bad & Blue, Live! is every bit about the cabaret experience and its intimacy. Dexter bonds with her audience on many levels, practically introducing the SRO crowd to one another.. fueled by a brilliant sense of dynamics and emotive sensitivity....Dexter's performance is an emotionally charged, soul-stirring thing to behold." Mike Bieber, JAZZIZ
"With a meticulously
chosen, eclectic set of songs -- from some unlikely sources as well
as the likes of Strayhorn/Ellington -- Dexter accomplishes what she
always sets out to do: Create an emotional bond with her audience, a
la cabaret, but via musicality rather than imposed anguish....Her songs
are as much dramatic performances as they are pop music...It's tough
to figure out which is more remarkable, Baby Jane Dexter's new show
or the fact she isn't signed to a major label."

"In
her exceptional show at Arci's Place, Baby Jane Dexter takes you on a
vivid emotional journey.
It's a wonderful show."
Chip Deffaa, New York Post
"Ms. Dexter is
Mother Nature incarnate. She is a no nonsense singer that sings with the
power of an erupting volcano and the sincerity of a street-wise earth
mother that's been there, done that. Her Alto voice grabs each note and
doesn't let go until she's sure that you've listened to her, damnit! Ms.
Dexter has always had an interesting repertoire that is never conventional
or boring. She easily alternates between the blues, which her voice is
perfectly colored for, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Blood, Sweat and Tears
and Bob Dylan. Yes folks, momma is eclectic and we would have it no other
way. When she sings, I Want More, you better get it for her, no matter
what it is that she wants more of. One of Ms. Dexter's signature tunes
is “You Don't Know What Love Is. It's included here as a medley with
Billy Strayhorn's gem of a tune, Something to Live For. This is where
Ms. Dexter lays it all on the line through her raw, bare and sentimental
renditions of these ballads. A word of warning to many of you cabaret
music aficionados who like your music like wallpaper, Ms. Dexter must
be listened to. Even through her recordings, she will disrupt your dinner
party. She takes us back to the days when voices were distinct and unique.
This CD almost feels like seeing her live. She's great."

"When God took
Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Ruth Etting, Helen Morgan...he gave us Baby Jane
Dexter in return. If you doubt it, go hear what she does, just for one
hair-raising instance...with the song that's the pivot of her current
pile-driving 'intimate opera,' Sammy Cahn and Saul Chaplin's great old
standard, 'Until The Real Thing Comes Along'."
The Villager
"Baby Jane Dexter
may be the most talented singer within a time-honored genre of cabaret
performer. Ms. Dexter doesn't read songs phrase by phrase for their literary
nuances. She locates their emotional centers and stays there."
Stephen Holden, N.Y. Times
"If you want
to hear songs that haven't been done to death by everyone else, sung by
a powerhouse whose belief in her material feels unshakeable, savor Baby
Jane Dexter."
Chip Deffaa, New York Post
