“The romance that jazz brings, Yvette Norwood-Tiger, celebrating the music of Ella Fitzgerald. engaging, consummate professional and oh ... her side-men, of the best that brought us under the influence. Blake Hellaby on grand piano, Lumanyano Unity Mzion drums, Sean Sanby on upright bass and Marco Maritz on trumpet. The ensemble entranced, romanced and finally mesmerized us ... bewitched, bothered, then bewildered us. I had arrived in 5th heaven, resting place of jazz romantics.” - Joey Fourie

“ Transplanted Detroit jazz vocalist Yvette Norwood-Tiger transcends standards from "Summertime" to "Besame Mucho" on her debut CD "whY NoT...Love, Peace, Joy, Jazz," and does that and more with her quintet...at the Rinker Playhouse at the Kravis Center.” - Bill Meredith

“ ...Members of Celine Dion's family are in the audience and Celine's sister is invited up by Yvette to sing "La Vie En Rose" in French. Her name is Claudette and she can sing. Yvette joins Claudette to sing it in English and the emotion in Yvette’s voice has me and a couple of other "tough" guys with me, tearing up---someone have a tissue?... Blue Jean Blues - 5/25/15:  Yvette returns to do a request. "La Vie En Rose".  Eric announces it as a Louis Armstrong hit.  It was.  But it was Edith Piaf who made that song famous.  Yvette didn't do it like Louis or Edith.  She did it like Yvette.  Emotional and absolutely perfect.” - Al Kanovsky

“ Last Saturday night, which happened also to be First Saturday in Asbury Park, Mattison Park had a great trio, featuring songstress Yvette Norwood-Tiger, billed as a 'Traditional Jazz Vocalist'. Now that might send those who associate jazz with scatting and lots of jarring sounds running for the door, which would be a big mistake. It is so rare to hear her selections -- "Cry Me a River", "God Bless the Child", "Do Nothing Till You Hear from Me", "Green Dolphin Street", "They Can't Take that Away from Me"-- because you actually need a real singing voice to do them.  Ms. Norwood-Tiger is the kind of accomplished voice one associates with the classically trained female singers of the 30s and 40s. This woman sings the standards the way they were meant to be sung.” - Maureen Nevin

“ It didn't take long for jazz vocalist Yvette Norwood-Tiger to develop a following.  After just a few area appearances, the Long Branch resident can count on a large turnout of jazz enthusiasts whenever she's on the bill.  Her recent sold-out gig at El Lobo Negro, Asbury Park's jazz and performance hotspot, generated enthusiastic buzz among musicians and fans alike.  The swingin’ and groovin' singer’s career is on the fast track. Whether she is backed with a full jazz ensemble or with a piano accompanist, she sets an authentic jazzy mood for true jazz listeners.”
