Jazz Times
Herzig’s playing is beautifully harmonized, unforced, playful and clever. RivetingRiffs.com
What I like about the music that music Herzig produces is that it seems so organic. It’s not trying to be flashy; it just is, it can’t help it. Herzig sounds like she coaxes her sound, and doesn’t force it. What the listener is left with is a rubber-band ball of jazz: fun, tight, unpredictable, and playful. Northeast In-Tune

MONIKA HERZIG’S SHEroes
The Side Door Jazz Club | 85 Lyme Street Old Lyme, CT 06371
The jazz supergroup of the year is right here – SHEroes, convened by pianist-composer Monika Herzig for a second recording by distinguished improvising virtuosos who are all, not just incidentally, women. Monika's deft, always supportive pianism and her warm, joyous, practical sensibility marks every tune with SHEroes. As a Doctor of Music at Indiana University, she is a senior lecturer focusing on Arts Management in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs. She is the biographer of IU’s late Doctor David Baker and recently released “A listener’s guide to Chick Corea.” SHEroes also features an international cast of players: Reut Regev (Israel)- Trombone; Jennifer Vincent (USA/NYC)- Trumpet; Jamie Baum (NYC)- Flute; Leni Stern (Germany/NYC)- Electric Guitar; Rosa Avila (Mexico/NYC)- Drums. Each member is a first call, in demand artist for multiple groups and a leader/composer/arranger in her own right.
