'This is a great reminder of or introduction to a night out with the great Claire Martin. This new live recording also shows a steady maturing of her emotional range.' Daily Telegraph 

‘...Martin tackles the jazz vocal idiom with aplomb.' Record Collector

‘She has a soft, husky voice and good intonation and a superb band.' Gramophone

‘If you've already heard of Claire you won't need urging, but to the unconverted I can only say buy ‘offBEAT'. It's great.' Jazz on CD

‘Martin turns in her customary, absorbing performance, applying her beautifully controlled, pleasantly smoky voice with passion, wit and intelligence to a cleverly chosen batch of songs.' Classical Music
