"Poryes' playing is confident, yet playful, thoughtful, but full of life." Brad Walseth, JazzChicago
“A stellar outing that introduces a piano trio that plays with an interactive verve and elegance…a knockout listening experience.” Dan McClenaghan, All About Jazz
“Her music is pleasant and powerful at the same time and I can picture a time when musicians will claim her as a major influence.” John Book, Music for America
"Catch Your Breath"
My 2008 solo jazz piano live concert DVD "In the Afternoon" is available for purchase directly through my Pay Pal account! It was beautifully recorded by master engineer, Bruce Mishkit, and he did a great job filming as well. We just used two angles, so you can see my hands the whole time without constant interruption. I got a nice flow going that afternoon, so the music feels connected and creative. You can sample the first tune on YouTube! Just search my name. Or you can go to my links page and click on "YouTube"
