"Dani skirted gender biases in jazz culture by learning to do and play “everything”.
DDG19 Big Band is a joyous and thoroughly enjoyable outing."

All About Jazz

"Dani stitches every band member together syllable by syllable, pushes forward with her scat singing, and as part of it develops a great sense of the collective's movements.
Speed is never an obstacle."
Ralf Thürsam

"Dani Gurgel's breathtakingly precise vocal lines (...) making her new album a light-footed manifesto of highly virtuosic interaction."
