` Smooth, saucy, seductive, or soaring, cool, coy, plaintive or just plain down and dirty, Eden Atwood and The Last Best Band can do it all ...' Harpers Magazine

Get up close and personal with Eden Atwood. From Montana, USA, Eden specialises in her own unique brand of jazz and blues. Whether reinterpreting The Rolling Stones' Satisfaction into a cool, jazzy romp, burning down the house with Duke Ellington's Ain't Got Nothin' But The Blues, getting funky with The Fifth Dimension's hit Puppet Man, or soulfully rendering Randy Newman's Feels Like Home, The Last Best Band remains firmly rooted in the jazz tradition.

"She brings to mind the music and ribald emphasis of such greats as Ella James and Ernestine Anderson, the warmth and conviction of Sarah Vaughan, the honesty of Irene Kral, the acrobatics of Betty Carter, the fragility of Billie Holiday. Atwood is the real thing" , LA Times.
