Teri has an intuitive laid back sense of time reminiscent of Abbey Lincoln and Betty Carter but with her own uniqueness. JACK DEJOHNETTE, Legendary Jazz Drummer & 2012 NEA JazzMaster
A discovery at the Sunside in Paris, Teri Roiger, somewhere between Abbey Lincoln, Billie Holiday and Anita O'Day, played with elegance, expressiveness and authenticity. JEAN SZLAMOWICZ, Jazz Hot Magazine, Paris
Teri Roiger has a voice like the finest bittersweet chocolate full of rich, dark, contradicting flavors that miraculously blend to create one of the most original vocal instruments in decades. VIC GARBARINI, Playboy Magazine

To hear Teri Roiger is to experience that peculiarly beautiful combination of improvisation, tone, feeling, and phrasing that are distinct elements of jazz freedom. She is made for those who still understand the meaning of the term the real thing. STANLEY CROUCH, Author, Cultural Critic & 2019 NEA Jazz Master
JAZZTIMES: Powerfully moving…sagacious warmth…impressively deep…
ALL ABOUT JAZZ: Roiger’s warm contralto, like aged, fine whiskey, is smooth but heady.

"Teri Roiger . . . a vocalist who wraps (Abbey) Lincoln's complex songs around her finger…" MARC MYERS, Jazzwax.com
Powerfully moving...segacious warmth...impressively deep...Christopher Loudon, JAZZTIMES
The very fine singer Teri Roiger is one of the few who truly comprehends what Abbey Lincoln did with time, timbre, and phrasing. Most importantly, she is not what they call a clone. Teri absorbed everything into her own individuality, can actually swing hard, sing impressive ballads, and emote the invincible and real feeling of jazz. STANLEY CROUCH (Author, Cultural Critic & 2019 NEA Jazz Master)
STILL LIFE . . . Teri's composition “Still Life” won 3rd place in the jazz category of the prestigious 2006 Int’l Songwriting Competition (ISC)
Teri collaborated with John Menegon on her first CD, along with jazz greats Kenny Burrell & Jack DeJohnette. Teri recorded her original lyrics to the title song "Misterioso" with the approval of the Thelonious Monk family.
