The Observer, (Dave Gelly), July 8, 2007
Her sound is warm and full, her improvised lines bold and clear,
and her compositions full of surprises.

Album Description
'Wait And See' is Karen Sharp's third album for 33 Jazz and it continues the artistic development of the UK's most remarkable young female saxophonist. Currently the resident saxophonist in Humphrey Lyttelton's band, Karen has also built a growing following for her own quintet and is a regular favourite around the UK's jazz clubs and concert halls. This new recording features her current group and again, explores both standard material and her own wonderful originals.

"Karen Sharp is a young tenor saxist well known to me since she's played in my own band. Over the past year she's moved not in a flash-in-the-pan flurry of notes, but with well paced assurance to the status of a class A player. But beautiful. But beautiful!" Humphrey Lyttleton - Best Of Jazz (Radio2)

"stylish, big toned in the Texas tradition...Karen is a star in the making....no doubt' Eddie Harvey - Musician Magazine
