  • After all, it was the multi-talented Ginny Carr who, a half dozen or so years ago wrote a lyric couplet that has stuck in my brain ever since, and here she is again, this time in her role as prime mover of the UVJQ – writing all the songs and managing all the arrangements. Ginny’s lyrics carry the message, from the opening salute to Eddie Jefferson ( “He never got the acclaim / (yet) he’s the one that put vocalese in the game” ) to the closing promise of even better things to come ( “Imagine the fun we’ll invent / it might even be fun to repent” ). Her lyrics are full of gentle ironies and surprising twists. She’s a singer/songwriter several cuts above the general run of many who advertise themselves as such. Alan Bargebuhr, Cadence Magazine
