"They never fail to please. With two great songwriters and interpreters, and with Pam on flute and Hope on harmonica, the band can seamlessly swing from jazzy sophistication to down and dirty blues..." Carter Smith, Common Ground Community Concerts
“Intuition Quartet packed Bar'Lees in Mamaroneck, New York on Saturday night and enthralled the audience with delightful melodies, masterful harmonies, impish improvisation, and coheasible chemistry. Weaving a delicate aural tapestry of Blues, Samba, and Folk, originals and covers, Hope Berkeley, harmonica/vocals; Pamela Sklar, flute/vocals; Irene Maher, guitar/lead vocals; and Joan Indig, bass/lead vocals decisively and firmly marked their own unique territory on the entertainment circuit!" Roger Zee, The Working Musician
"...combined elements of blues, folk, jazz and rock into a truly original sonic experience...teeming with perfect selections for the back and forth soloing of flute and harmonica...". Evan Scott, Scarsdale Patch staff, New York/Scarsdale.:
