“CD Title: Sweet Jazz Year: 2004 Record Label: LSSJCD Style: Jazz Vocals Review: God, Leonie Smith sings as beautifully as she looks. The frosting: She interprets her renderings with authority as well. Smith offers us a varied & eclectic set of covers, and we are all spellbound for the musical journey. I'm warmed by the idea that she follows the Shirley-Horn-esque style of song. This is an noble direction for Leonie to take, as Horn is the quintessential proponent for the 'bel canto ballad 'style of song delivery. Consequently, Leonie therefore assimilates the 'Shirley' style of song with her relaxed, rhythmic feel. The timbre of her vocalise is textured with a precise, & incandescent tonal quality. One can sense her fertile melodic imagination as well. To sum it all up, may I suggest that Leonie Smith is a musician's singer, such that I'm looking forward to hearing her next project. ”

“i first heard this cd on a rival seller's jazz site where they were playing "dream a little dream of me." i ordered it based on that and have not regretted it for one instant and have been listening to it ever since. leonie smith sent it herself, complete with a thank you note! every song is a standard/classic and leonie smith does a great job on all of them. she has a nice, at times, plaintive voice and is especially good on ballads. her instrumental back-ups are great, too, and there are some good solos. "nature boy" is especially good. i was impressed with the recording quality, too, which came through on the instrumentals. if you want to hear a new (to the usa) female jazz voice from down under whom i would put up there with diana krall, madeline eastman, jame monheit and jenna mamina, buy this cd. you won't regret it. it is leonie smith's introductory cd and hopefully it won't be her last.”

“Sydney Vocalist Leonie Smith's velvety smoothness can't conceal “her versatility. She effortlessly, and seamlessly, effects shifts in mood, and tempo, as she spools through her considerable repertoire of songs 'we all know', and love. She can soulfully tease out, say, the languid longing of Summertime, to the brink of poignancy, in a fashion that'd do even Billie proud. She can pull out all the stops for an 'A Train'. Or with equal aplomb, bounce every ounce of wry humour out of a Cole-fired classic. From Rogers and Hart, to Monk, and all shades in-between, she can make it sing; she can make it swing! From ballads to blues, the girl's got it covered.” “Leonie is at home in many a musical setting: especially, as (arguably, always the better) half of a duo, with pianist, or guitarist, or in a band of up to 5 of the best,,”

— Brad Skye 2RRR fm Announcer, 2RRR

“SL has become the home for a number of talented singers and musicians and their presence and impact on our Second Lives continues to grow. I recently had the chance to catch up with SL's premier Jazz Diva, Paisley Beebe.”

— Nazz Lane, The Second Life Newspaper

“Paisley Beebe (Leonie Smith) is a a Real Life Vocalist from Sydney Australia. After reading about it in a Womens magazine. After immersing herself in the Second Life culture and finding her way around, started streaming her music into Second Life through her computer in her home Studio. ”

— Jojamela Soon, Jazz Corner

“Paisley Beebe is the Sweet Jazz Bird in SL, and I’ll tell you why she deserves the title. Most of Paisley’s show happens at 7pm SLT which is actually really late for me, yet I am so glad I didn’t miss this particular gig.”

— Joeru Pugilist, Second Seeker
