Length of Days
Look for the resplendent Length of Days to be
Deanna Witkowski's breakthrough.
-Thomas Staudter
Wide Open Window
Witkowski is not far from jazz stardom with her
keyboard techniques, her imaginative composing
and arranging, and her wordless vocalizing.
Remember her name.
-Harvey Siders, JazzTimes
Having to Ask
Deanna's spirit- and her spirituality- come through
on this consummate debut, and that spirit is astonishing.
-Don Glasgo, Jazz Improv
Sacred Music
Deanna's sensitive, searching musical voice beckons you
to join her explorations of the spirit.
-Cary Ratcliff, composer
