“The title song is an original with a lovely melody and touching lyrics…’In The Quiet Hours’ and
‘Promised Land,’ are two other originals that further demonstrate how well the entertainer
matches music and words.”
– Cam Miller, The American Rag (Apr 01, 2010)

“Peggy Duquesnel sounds like a smokier version of Rosemary Clooney. Her voice is bright and
buoyant with burnt honey shadings…”
– Alonzo Weston, St. Joseph News-Press (Mar 12, 2010)

“Duquesnel’s keyboards are right on time all the way through the album and clearly show her love
of playing.”
– Dick Metcalf, Improvijazzation Nation (Mar 15, 2010)

“She writes some nice tunes, like the title cut. And her choice of standards suit her own vocal
style.”
– Grego Applegate Edwards, Gapplegate (Mar 25, 2010)

“The original tracks on Summertime Lullaby are sensitive and sincere; you can hear for yourself
how much Duquesnel has put into writing the lyrics and composing the music.”
– The Muse’s Muse (Mar 04, 2010)

“Orange County jazz pianist Peggy Duquesnel, who played keyboards in Warwick’s band from 1996
to 1998, recalls that period with fondness. ‘Dionne had a very natural way with the audience,
telling little stories, and her singing was so musical,’ she says. ‘She had a great respect for the
songwriters, and that came through in performance. It was an honor to work for her.'”
– Kirk Silsbee, Arroyo: Deja Vu (Jun 01, 2010)

“Her voice is very calming like Janis Siegel, where you not only hear her love for jazz and singing,
but simply a love of music.”
– John Book, This is Book’s Music (Feb 17, 2010)

“Her voice is clear and pure and she is unafraid to divide her arrangements between extended
piano solos and the lyrics of the songs she has arranged.”
– Grady Harp, Amazon Editorial Review (Feb 10, 2010)

“Peggy Duquesnel has all the accoutrements needed to make a lasting and positive impression on
listeners minds.”
– Susan Frances, Jazz Inside

“Duquesnel’s vocals, be they bluesy or joyful are tailored to the many moods of the season.”
Some of her solo work, such as “Satin Doll” and “Take the ‘A’ Train” manifest themselves as
heartfelt tributes to their respective composers, peer to peer, as it were.
– Bob Gish, Jazz Inside (May 28, 2010)

“Duquesnel knows how to reach her audience and her singing is very appealing. ‘Stay As Sweet As
You Are,’ composed by Mack Gordon and Harry Revel has truly sweet lyrics and, for me, was an
emotional experience to see and hear live from Duquesnel’s quartet.”
– Glenn A. Mitchell, L.A. Jazz Scene (Apr 21, 2010)

“This album is a treasure for the discerning ear… It is jazz at it’s best. Her piano solo makes ones
foot tap and brings a smile…”
– John Gilbert, Jazzreview (May 07, 2010)
