With a voice and irrepressible style which have captured the imaginations of audiences and critics alike in Europe, Asia, Russia and the United States, Dasha Beets is poised to secure a defining place among the most important and original jazz vocalists of our time.

Dasha possesses a pure, natural voice with a gentle swing, delivering her self-written or translated lyrics with remarkable clarity and expression. With this album, she more than fulfills her promise of a surprising musical direction.

With her almost angelic tone, she interprets Bach in a way that is both respectful and innovative.

Her voice and way of singing are ultimate. She sings easy and free.

The combination of jazz, classical music, and English poetry sounds organic and fluid, shaped by great attention to detail, vibrant musical energy, and a deep love for Bach’s oeuvre.

An ambitious and captivating album — inspiring, tasteful, and wonderfully free to listen to.

In Lament, Prophet, and Angel, great poetry merges with Bach’s melodies into a delightful whole — not least because of Beets’ seductive and highly versatile voice.

'Ultimately original'

This young lady has a very flexible and always warm voice. She sings her songs with a freshness that suggests she’s inventing them at that very moment.

Dasha has a very beautiful and calm voice. We expect a lot of her in the future

Everything Dasha sings is crystal clear — never overly jazzy, yet always infused with a deeply felt sense of the beauty of Bach’s music, which she truly makes her own. Bach swinging as if it was always meant to be that way. When Dasha Beets begins Bach’s Lamento with her warm alto voice, it genuinely brings tears to your eyes — so intensely and profoundly beautiful.

Dasha is a great talent. 100% entertaining, very concentrated singing and fantastic arrangements.

Surprisingly beautiful. Dasha is a natural talent and has all the capacities of a great jazzvocalist.
