"It's a borderless, cacophonous, in-your-face experiment in tone poetry and free-form expression. It's tough. It's gutsy. It's brilliant." --Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes "Complex, ambitious record…we can add Victor to the Betty Carter family of jazz singers, if we could find anyone else to fill out a family." (A-) --Tom Hull, Village Voice "...actually stretches the definition of jazz vocals” --JazzWise, UK "Victor is the traffic director of a group methodology that surges into the interstellar regions of sound." --Glenn Astarita, New & Noteworthy Monthly Column March 2007, www.allaboutjazz.com "Taking jazz singing forward with a unique form of expression, Fay Victor delivers with authority. She reaches out with open arms to celebrate the freedom that comes with singing what you feel." --Jim Santella, Cadence "CARTWHEELS THROUGH THE COSMOS is that rarity amongst contemporary vocal jazz releases: an album that doesn’t rely on a tired repertoire and looks, instead, for innovation in every corner. The beauty of Victor…is her blending of soulful delivery with avant-garde tactics. Her fearless exploration of a myriad of musical nexus points makes Cartwheels Through the Cosmos an album for those who normally stay away from vocal jazz." --John Kelman, allaboutjazz.com "I love it. It's very special what you are doing. It's a killer band and the whole concept is just fantastic!" --Dave Douglas, Trumpeter www.fayvictor.com www.myspace.com/fayvictorensemble
