Smason's vocals...are at once dry and emotional, lending a fresh, believable quality.
Mike Dennis, Earshot

Smason sounds like the kind of horn player who could walk into any date and acquit himself with distinction. That mastery goes beyond the surface; he seems to have a feel for many styles...
David Dupont, Cadence

a veteran of cabaret, musical theatre, and concert, joanne klein combines her diverse talents to present an innovative blend of music, theatre, comedy and lyricism. everything she touches becomes a fresh look at the world. energetic, versatile and clever with a sophisticaed flair, ms. klein is very musical, very zany, and above all, totally entertaining.

...cooler, more reserved, but the torchiest torch singer in town.
roger downey, seattle weekly

....clowning like a fool one minute and singing divinely the next.
patrick macdonald, seattle times

better world has performed throughout the pacific northwest and the east coast at clubs, parties, radio and festivals. a new cd is currently available. in a small bistro or large concert hall, this music will delight you.
