Here is what the press is saying about Peggy Duquesnel:

"Peggy's vocals are polished and smooth, her voice as much an instrument as any in the orchestra."
Robert A. Lindquist, Singer Magazine

"She plays piano and sings equally well, and is as easy on the eye as on the ear. She has great range, and her Stardust was wonderful, as was her piano rendition of It Might As Well Be Spring."
Graeme Barrow, New Zealand News

"Peggy is not only a captivating songwriter but she's a fine pianist too. There is a Bill Evans quality to her playing and her harmonies."
Bob Snyder, Jazz Programmer WRST-FM

"LA based Peggy Duquesnel sings, plays piano and writes in the jazz tradition of guys like Dick Hyman and Ralph Sutton. She brings her clear yet unassuming voice to mature originals. She growls through the "Drivin' Blues" with confidence."
George W. Harris, Jazz Weekly
