"A great place apart, a dream escape from what's just ordinary. You are everything but ho hum." - Van Dyke Parks.
Songwriter, Pianist, Accordionist Amy Kohn is applauded by some of the top composer/producers in modern song: Van Dyke Parks says she’s “Brimming with such talent!” and the late, legendary Producer Arif Mardin dubbed her a “Musical Devil in a Red Dress” and featured her as a Singer and Accordionist on his final recording, All My Friends Are Here, released this past June, along with performers such as Norah Jones, Chaka Khan, and Carly Simon. At “Her Black Iron Ship” (from Trust Aqua, a song written about Amy and her piano by Akiko Pavolka) Amy always seeks sounds she’s never heard, and it comes through in the “oddly structured beauty” (Scottish Herald) of her highly arranged, effervescent music. "BANG UP TO DATE EDGE!" - Stuart Maconie, BBC Radio 6
