JazzTimes Magazine
"Three years after her widely acclaimed Mood Swings, Detroit chanteuse Kathy Kosins is taking big steps backward-but in a good way."  Read the entire review  here 

New York Times
Ms. Kosins's nonstandard choice of standards is almost as winsome as her easygoing, swinging style...

Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Kathy Kosins has a fine expressive voice and she is joined by a top-notch sextet,
but the real star of this set are the songs

Chris DiGirolamo
If Jazz had four seasons, Kathy Kosins would be spring. Something to look forward to, something budding, and most of all something just down right distinct.

By John Stevenson  ejazznews.com
On Vintage, Kathy Kosins plunges into a rarely explored area of standards, and emerges with a handful of well-crafted melodic pearls. Her alluring declamations bring freshness to the lightly swinging "Tiptoe Gently". A teasing, sensual approach comes across to good effect on Russell Garcia's "Go Slow", where Kathy drags seductive lyrics across a decelerated tango.

Midwest Record Recap
Continuing to fight the good fight for recognition, her first set in three years finds Kosins with wider exposureand distribution and an album of oldies you probably never heard. Digging into the past for a flock of songs that time has past by, as well as a few surprises that she manages to make fit right. A dazzling jazz singer that has that something extra that was made to be appreciated, Kosins has got it going on and you should get on the train. Hot stuff.

I wasn't expecting to fall in love with a new female vocal album, but I wound up staying the night.

Mark Stryker
The aptly titled "Vintage" represents the best work yet by Kathy Kosins, a Detroit jazz singer with a sharp ear for obscure material and a taste for A-list accompanists...
