The musical values she brings to her debut cd are estimable... a superior debut.
Rosana is such a fabulous singer and musician! She is so musical and is one of the few singers who really makes all the changes when she scats.
...a sublime vocalist and songwriter
Rosana is absolutely first class in all that she does: fantastic singer and arranger, and an inspiring teacher of jazz voice.
Rosana's approach was a fresh sound to my ears.
Rosana has one of my favorite kind of voices... a naturalness and sincerity that is completely compelling (and rare I think).
Reviews of "Sailing Home"
“…a deep feeling for putting across a song is at the core of these heartfelt and occasionally surprising vocal performances… there’s a studied yet ethereal focus to ‘Someone Else’s Life’ and some fun and funk on the New Orleans-styled romp ‘Coriander Stomp’.”
– Denise Sullivan, Downbeat Magazine
“Innocent voiced…she can produce a mood that is soft and mellow as on “Blue Flower,” ethereal and folksy on “Someone Else’s Life” and even gets bohemian on a reggae’d ‘Waiting.’ Alluring and well-dressed.”
– George W. Harris, Jazz Weekly
“…this album should prove to all that she is a world-class artist, fluent in many genres, and absolutely compelling as a vocalist and composer.”
– Thomas Cunniffe, Jazz History Online

“Bright and imaginative… She has a giving and generous musical personality that manifests in her broad format and genre palette… Eckert sings wordlessly, scatting in and out of the musical celebration, which is a good way to describe the entire recording.”

”Sweetly voiced, this Lab Band grad brings her roots to a left of center samba hybrid and enchants throughout. A delightfully high tone record that anyone can enjoy.”
– Chris Spector, Midwest Record
