Some fools say jazz is also a monolith. Not as long as there are vibrant energizers like Laroo's crew playing. Her stage was small scale, but her performance was large. It was exactly the kind of thing that keeps jazz alive. Philip Woolever for AllAboutJazz, Nov 18, 2014
"Her harmon mute playing on Blackbird managed to suggest [Miles] Davis without attempting to imitate him." By Don Heckman, in LA Times. December, 2000.
"Her muted trumpet may remind you of Miles, but the style and improv are strictly that of a rising star in the jazz world." By Arthur C. Bourassa, in Jazz Now. November, 1999.
