"Sandra Locklear sings and plays with a shimmering sensuality and the voice of experience."

"With a long history of local appearances .... Locklear performed her Tribute to the Art of Nina Simone ... a happy gathering of family and friends - and new fans - thoroughly enjoyed the Simone tribute ... Last weekend, the show included a tribute to Shirley Horn who had died the day before."

" ... Piano and vocals in a warm, folk/jazz vein ... "

"Sandra leaves little doubt that her business is music ... she plays expertly and sings effortlessly ... there's that quiet dignity about her, that inner strength that all of us seek."

"Your musicianship is amazing ... but what moves me most is the words ... you are, indeed, on a journey, and you bring us all along."

"Rockin! A world-class production ... energetic, melodic pop-rock with jazz, folk and Latin elements ... killer musicianship, great graphics!"

"Passionate and purposeful, as she reaches into her stylistic toolbag to express the spirit of each song, her strength is in her versatility ... "

"Sandra brings class, spirit, and artistic inspiration ... "

"We love Sandra. She is a warm, talented woman."

"You are a great vocalist, a fine pianist, and a wonderful writer. The writing is excellent poetry in its own right on both albums. I have listened to Goddess Rising many times. It captures the warmth and the sadness of your life. It fits perfectly as a first CD effort since it tells the listener all about you. I consider it very intimate, forceful and at the same time uplifting. However, "Girl Gone Jazz" for us enthusiasts of the genre, is a quantum leap in the annals of your ability. Each and every song is GREAT. Your talent has grown enormously ... your artistry has, not improved, necessarily, but as been honed into a fine skill: no hesitation anywhere, no wavering of the notes, no mistakes or slip ups that most ears could not detect anyway, and certainly a mellowness that shines through exactly when it is needed."
