Dorothy Doring celebrates the impressive “Southern Exposure” recorded in New Orleans with pianist and producer David Torkanowsky.  Star Tribune, Mpls, MN

I found this to be a CD which has much to offer and should be heard, and that once heard by a reasonably wide swath of the jazz public should establish Dorothy Doring as a bona-fide up and comer.....Her vocal technique is peerless, her rhythmic control, her intonation, the fluid clarity of her enunciation, coupled with her intelligent illumination of lyric, mark her as a singer whose name, if there was any artistic justice in the crazy vocal jazz bizniz, would be at the top of the popularity poll lists and on the lips of all the in-the-know-it-all zoosters.

Dorothy Doring turns in a sublime disc that could be considered a tribute to the Cresent City’s sometimes overlooked contemporary jazz scene....she shows off her slinky phrasing in contexts tinged with grainy blues, exquisite art balladry, and full-throated soul.

Torkanowsky's arrangements leave a space for Doring's clean, sensitive voice. www.offbeat.com   OffBEAT WEEKLY BEAT

What’s fascinating about her new project is not only the diversity of material but also the flexibility and stylistic range of Doring’s voice. She can sing it sweet, with grit, with zing, with smoke, with salt. The title is Southern Exposure....but this is Doring Exposed, a gem of many facets, polished to a fine sheen and catching a different color, a different shading, at every turn. www.jazzpolice.com    

Vocalist Dorothy Doring, a chanteuse specializing in jazz standards with a hint of gritty blues, is a longtime Twin Cities-based favorite. Southern Exposure, recorded in New Orleans, is her sublime new CD on which she's backed by some of the Cresent City's hottest players.  Mpls St. Paul Magazine

Doring’s CD doesn’t just tip it’s hat to standards, but feature them with a few twists and stretches along the way. This pearl features a cast of backing musicians that are masters at transmitting feelings into music right along with Doring. One listen is enough evidence to convict the whole crew on charges of talent, taste, and love of the music they perform here so well.   Reader Weekly / Duluth, MN

"It's just a splendid project.....it really is outstanding!"  Leigh Kamman,

A Minnesota lass.....turning out a set of jazz standards with just the right amount of swing and style. Mostly a club flavored set with some "deep" jazzbo moves along the way ("Giant Steps"), Doring does the familiar but avoids the cliche.
