If I had a nickel for every time I heard an audiophile at a high-end audio show say “Could you play something with female voice?”

Vocalist CeCe Gable works her salty timbres through a trove of jazz standards on her latest release More Than A Song.

by Henry L. Ettman, Ph.D.

…It has been noted that it is the singers who are today saving our precious native art form, jazz, since they have the unique ability to draw in new audiences as well as jazz aficionados through their conveying of lyrics and ability to visually “connect” with listeners.

by L. Martina Young, Ph.D.

CeCe is a storyteller. She attends to the lyric of a song with the sole purpose of translating its beauty and power through word, rhythm, phrasing and tone.

Brief Notes On New Jazz Releases

by Michael Doherty

Vocalist CeCe Gable delivers some wonderful standards, including a few Cole Porter numbers, on her new album, More Than A Song.

More than a Song - released summer 2020

CeCe Gable sure is in fine company on this aptly titled 4th album where Roni Ben-Hur contributes guitar, Brian Landrus delivers baritone saxophone and bass clarinet, and Harvie S and Sylvia Cuenca handle bass and drums respectively. Together, the ensemble deliver 9 American standards and 1 Brazilian tune, where Gable transcends mere music into another level of emotional intensity.

by George W. Harris

CeCe Gable has a way to hold back on a lyric and letting it go at just the right time, using her timing to perfection as she teams with bassist Harvie S along with Roni Ben-Hur/g, Brian Landrus/gs-bcl, and Sylvia Cuenca/dr on this rich mix of standards.

Knowing many of the vocalists in the big band era personally, in addition to hearing them sing and enjoying the top stars at The White House in the 50's and 60's has certainly given me a broad background in popular music enabling me to appreciate and judge fairly accurately how good a particular vocalist really is.

Tom Patrick McAuliffeAssoc. Editor Singer Magazine

Performer Ce Ce Gable is a singer's singer and her new CD "You Are Not Alone" is a must have for every jazz or cabaret enthusiast.
