"Jane Stuart is as complete a jazz singer as they come. With the timing of a tap dancer, the emotive responsiveness of a stage performer, a voice for the ages, and the experience to put it all together into one unified whole." All About Jazz-Dan Bilawsky "Her singing and music are simply FRESH! She gives true meaning to lyrics and full attention to a jazz attitude. She stretches from whispers to wails… Jane Stuart is way above the crowd." Dr. Herb Wong acclaimed jazz journalist "Who can resist the spell she weaves. All in all we are in the presence of an artist who understands it all because she gives us the feeling that she has been through it all, and that is something every real jazz singer strives to relate. It is all here." Grady Harp for Amazon.com write your comments about the article :: © 2019 Jazz News :: home page |
