Minnesota based jazz singer Dorothy Doring frequently draws from the well of Big Easy inspiration. She recorded her CD "Southern Exposure" here with local keyboard wizard David Torkanowsky as musical director and producer. The Times Picayune-Hot Picks of the Week/ Lagniappe, New Orleans, LA

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.

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. Andrea Cantor  www.JazzPolice.com 

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. City Pages / A-List, Minneapolis, Minnesota

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.
