"Berta invests emotional content into whatever she’s doing, something you can sense whether you’re in the audience or on the bandstand alongside her. She’s smart focused dependable, serious about her music but an affable person the sort you want to work with." -Steve Wilson-

“As for her own voice on the tenor, Moreno is a highly thoughtful and precise soloist, with well-planned statements that don't waste any notes. Her in-the-pocket technique avoids ostentatiousness in favor of measured swinging improvisational arcs that are enjoyable and accessible".

"Moreno's debut album, "Little Steps," not only showcases her prowess as an improviser on the saxophone, it also highlights her formidable talent as a composer. Most startling among her talents is her compositional skill. While certainly rooted in the great jazz of the 1950's, her tunes are intricate and highly original."
