“…its never too late to get to discover Anne Bisson. For her second album,this pianist, songwriter and singer brilliantly takes up the challenge with arich and, it must be mentioned, clever selection of well-known songs, deeplypersonal compositions and Pop standards that have withstood the test of time.Never straying far from the Jazz idiom, which might possibly be the secret toher success, she starts off by offering us a nearly a cappella version of PinkFloyds Us and Them. She then revisits Spinning Wheels, With a Little Help FromMy Friends (The Beatles), In the Wee Small Hours, with its superb trumpet solofrom Ron Di Lauro, and other selections. On the whole, Portraits and Perfumes,produced by keyboardist Guy St-Onge, is a bright new album that one can listento from morning till night. Bravo!” – Christopher Rodriguez, Journal deMontreal, July 30, 2011
