Album and Performance Reviews
“This is her memorable debut album, which includes a total of seven songs, including ‘Sakura Sakura’ with a Japanese heart and ‘Allusion’ with a swinging feel and the power of New York saxophone.　
It is a pleasant work that conveys her cultural influences and her passion and quest for music.　
A gem to look out for.”

"Stephanie is one of the smoothest alto sax players I've ever had the pleasure to hear.
Her clarinet on 'Easy Living' was soulful, and her soprano sax has a beautiful edginess. Her original pieces were simply beautiful."
