Reviews:
Water and Fire
"jazz with world music leanings,transcendental style of pop singing...Rae's eclecticism is certainly admirable..embraces traditional Middle Eastern and Jewish music..Rae is quite capable of becoming better known in both jazz and world music circles."
Alex Henderson

Cantique de Noel
"A lovely new age and classical montage of old and new hymns,Christmas standards and children's favorites..Suki's wonderful talents with her flute are obvious throughout the fifteen tracks."

Heartsong Review

"This classically trained flutist advances a highly accessible listening experience..she sings about the love and the eternal expressiveness of the soul..somewhere between a classical form and a new found New Age Broadway musical."
