“Although heavily impressed in my formative musical years by American jazz vocalists, as a writer I was impelled to reach further. My head got really turned around when I first heard Aretha Franklin's version of Misty, using soulful nuances to interpret the almighty jazz standard. It was never the same for me after that. There were white jazz players and there were black jazz players. And to this day, I'm confused about it, or blessed. ”

— Tess Alexander Music, Black and White (The Song Writes Itself, excerpts)

“``In addition to live performance she developed an amazing catalogue of original material that surprised anybody who heard her play live, especially in Europe because what she came up with on her own was not just piano and voice and very unlike her lounge set. Her originals had more instrumentation than just acoustic piano and voice and over tasty lightly layered tracks, she came up with some very nice songs that could possibly withstand the test of time in an ideal production milieu.`` ”

— Tess Alexander Music, The Song Writes Itself (excerpts)

“Fortunately today we have the amazing crawling phenomenon aka demographics to remind us that we are not alone so when I found the net and sleepily staked my small but worthy crew of tunes as quasicollateral, like hey, I wrote and produced these myself, actually not that much happened to me because I still needed to evolve in certain ways for a certain series of circumstances to happen naturally and effectively. ”

— Tess Alexander Music, The Song Writes Itself (excerpts)

“``I just started pressing buttons until the thing was recorded and figured I would fix it later but in my heart I knew there was more to it than I was noticing at the time. A good performance is paramount and you have to be stroked upwards for it - a good contract smoothes most of that out.`` ”
