THE BUZZ

“Rose delivers the goods, blending her love of music with a romantic sensibility to create on fine and soulful jazz disc. Each track is absolutely true to the song. Sassy, saucy ... stellar!”
—Ben Fong Torres

“In Pamela Rose's latest, 'Just For a Thrill' we are treated to sultry, seductive tracks that deftly weave a tapestry of bluesy jazz...a musician who's at the height of her powers.”
—Miles Forman, SF Station

“Rose is a superb vocalist...this is a top notch release!”

“'Just for a Thrill' is a cup of slowly simmered jazz. Song after song features Rose at her finest. Intimate, at times hushed, deeply romantic ... these are fully absorbed pearls and phrasings of a singer and composer who knows she needs no improvement. And the band can't be beat!”
—Bruce Kelley, Editor, San Francisco magazine

JUST FOR A THRILL, 2006
Pamela’s swinging, soulful style is richly served up in an intimate, romantic collection of jazz standards and originals on this most recent recording. Incredible guitar work and Hammond B-3 organ, too!

“In Rose’s ‘Just For A Thrill,’ we are treated to sultry, seductive tracks that deftly weave a tapestry of bluesy jazz—a musician who’s at the height of her powers!”
—Miles Forman, SFStation

Together with co-producer and guitarist Danny Caron (Charles Brown) and fellow songwriter Tony Stead, Rose pulled together an impressive ensemble of Bay Area artists in order to create an ardent and intimate atmosphere from the first note to the last chord. Salty Hammond B-3 organ grooves are interlaced with more traditional piano and guitar jazz ensembles, delivering a mix of jazz standards and original compositions.

“Slowly simmered jazz ... these are fully absorbed pearls and phrasings of a singer and composer who. ..needs no improvement. And the band can’t be beat!”
—Bruce Kelley, San Francisco magazine
