“Conocí a Katherine Farnham por las bondades de Internet. La puerta de entrada a su arte fue Vintage, obra de arreglos impecables, blend perfecto de jazz, blues, R & B, que Kat transita, emocionando inevitablemente. Recuerdo que lo escuché por primera vez viajando en el subterráneo (Metro/”Subway”) de Buenos Aires. Era la hora de retorno de una jornada laboral. Un vagón atestado de gente sola, silenciosa, seria, cansada. Yo, en cambio, estaba feliz y acompañado por aquella voz. ¡Quería reír, llorar, cantar, bailar! Entonces, sentí dos cosas: que sería maravilloso que todos ahí pudieran escucharla… ¡seguramente cambiaría su estado de ánimo! Y que debía conversar con aquella mujer. Así nació el desembarco de Kool Kat en mi programa de radio.” (Spanish)

“This album has attitude like you wouldn't believe. Mind you, I mean positive attitude. It moves you, grooves you, entices you, and convinces you that this is one artist who solidly and easily distinguishes herself from the run-of-the-mill vocalists and musicians...Farnham takes us on a dazzling and delightful musical journey to a land of cool, sexy and suave. I fell immediately in love with the material from the very moment my ears and soul took notice.” --The Smooth Jazz Ride (Vintage LP)
"She answers to Kool Kat. Pianist and vocalist Katherine Farnham breaks out the cool, the groove, the funky and the ethereal with Vintage (2016). Solo piano introduces “Mermaid” with a few bars that flow like ocean waves. Torres’ flute is the perfect complement to Farnham’s haunting melody. After a brief solo by Torres, the two voices merge for some of the most beautiful sounds on the album." --Woody W., The Jazz Writer
"Singer's Goal: Ethnic Harmony. The message was loud and clear Thursday night: We can be as one if we try. As Farnham and her band began to play Easy, the crowd listened closely. Even Raimundez, a self-dubbed pessimist had second thoughts. 'It could be a nice thing to work towards,' he said." --The Miami Herald (Mosaic Single)
