Deborah Paiva Jazz Ensemble

"Truly a voice that is uncomplicatedly beautiful yet still very, very much her own." Charles R Boyer, Owner/Publisher, Jazz & Blues Florida

“When I walked into the JAZZ Lounge, Deborah had just started to sing "You Make Me Feel So Young". She followed with "Old Black Magic." It wasn't black magic that made me feel so young. It was Deborah's unique JAZZ phrasing. It is exclusively 'hers'. That styling comes from not listening to other vocalists versions. She would listen to instrumentals so she would not be influenced and become a copy-cat. She is definitely her own stylist.” Al Kanovsky, Jazz & Blues Florida

"The Boca gig for the Swing and Jazz Society last night was one of our best... The young lady that opened for us was a really good singer with a fine trio to match. Yes, singer Deborah Paiva had the audience in the palm of her hand. During our show, we brought Deborah back to do a tune with our band." Bill Allred (Bill Allred's Class Jazz Band)

“Deborah Paiva has the voice of an Angel.” Denise Righetti, Owner/CFO Denise's Foodie Events
