"Something quite magical can happen when a composer has a specific voice to serve as his muse.  Consider the case of Louis Rosen, the Chicago-bred, now New York-based songwriter, and his songbird of choice, Capathia Jenkins... performing Rosen's nostalgic, romantic, emotionally charged song cycle, South Side Stories"

Chicago Sun-Times

 

"Capathia Jenkins' soaring voice-sweet, smart, sassy and full of soul - warmed the hearts of everyone in the audience for "South Side Stories... In "South Side Stories," Rosen's newest work... he has created a fine and sometimes somber portrait of heartbreak and survival, joy and its absence, and love that endures even when the objects of that love are long vanished..."

Chicago Tribune
