Minnesota based jazz singer Dorothy Doring frequently draws from the well of Big Easy inspiration. She recorded her second CD "Southern Exposure" here with local keyboard wizard David Torkanowsky as musical director and producer.

Her vocal technique is peerless, her rhythmic control, her intonation, the fluid clarity of her enunciation, coupled with her intelligent illumination of lyric, mark her as a singer whose name, if there was any artistic justice in the crazy vocal jazz bizniz, would be at the top of the popularity poll lists and on the lips of all the in-the-know-it-all zoosters.
Cadence Magazine - Alan Bargebuhr
She can sing it sweet, with grit, with zing, with smoke, with salt. The title is Southern Exposure....but this is Doring Exposed, a gem of many facets, polished to a fine sheen and catching a different color, a different shading, at every turn. Andrea Cantor www.JazzPolice.com
Dorothy Doring turns in a sublime disc that could be considered a tribute to the Cresent City’s sometimes overlooked contemporary jazz scene....she shows off her slinky phrasing in contexts tinged with grainy blues, exquisite art balladry, and full-throated soul. City Pages / A-List, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Southern Exposure International CD Release May 2008 was listed on the 51st GRAMMY Entry Nomination Ballot in the category of "Best Jazz Vocal Album"
