Reviews:
“I'm in love with the debut solo CD of LA-based vocalist & composer, it's really pure "Sophistication." Great voice, great material, great musicians, great artwork, gorgeous pics.” — Arnaldo DeSouteiro, Jazz Station
“Sophistication is the aptly titled, debut solo CD of LA-based vocalist, composer, and producer, Thisbe Vos. The album is a well honed collection of classics from “the American song book” and original compositions.” — JazzFidelity
