Some of the comments we've received about Jan's CD...
 

"I love your CD "OLD DEVIL MOON". Great vocal performaces, and Jay puts in his usual excellent performances. Congrats on a great disc!" -- John Anello Jr., President, CEXTON RECORDS

"I can't stop listening to your CD! You have an amazing voice! What a gift!" -- P.P., East Boston, MA

"This morning I went to the dentist and had a root canal. It was fun....(for the dentist). But it's a good day, very good. Because I got my Jan Findlay CD in the mail. Listened to it for the third time. I'm not used to finding new artists who actually have talent. Nowadays singers are about 60/40 hype and talent. Ms. Findlay is all talent. Really strong voice. My
favorite cut is the last one, "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life", a special favorite I discovered almost 20 years ago on an Abby Lincoln album. And I've liked "My Funny Valentine" since I first heard it on a Chet Baker album in 1953 (8th grade). Thanks for the music; I love it. And thanks for making what should have been a terrible day a fun one after all." -- P.L., Urbanna, VA

"A friend recently let me hear your music! I only needed to hear the first song on your CD when I was sold on it!!! Old Devil Moon is fabulous!! Jan sounds like you just walked into a jazz club in New Orleans with that great voice and wonderful musicians to complete the picture!!!" -- C.A.R., Tempe, AZ

"My wife Mary and I really enjoy your CD. You sound fantastic! Mary enjoys it so much that she won't give it back. So, I need one for myself. We're planning on coming to NY to hear you live! Wishing you every success." -- D.B. Newmarket, NH

"Last summer 2004, we met Jan (a fellow passenger) while on our Mediterranean cruise. We soon found out that she liked to sing the same kinds of music that we enjoy! Who would have thought that this petite woman could really belt out those tunes with such heart and soul. When she sang, I felt chills! As it turned out, she was the best entertainment on that cruise (and she volunteered)! Needless to say, I continue listening to Jan's CD, and when I'm not listening to it, the richness of her voice rings in my mind throughout the day!" -- R.D., San Francisco, CA

"Jan's CD is among my favorites in my 300 plus jazz CD collection. That collection includes Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Diana Krall as well as John Coltrane and Miles Davis." -- H.B., San Mateo, CA

"Jenna and I think your CD is absolute PERFECTION!!" -- K.B., North Reading, MA

"I was delighted to receive Jan's marvelous CD --- love it!" M.M. New York, NY

"I just got your CD and it is great. It arrived the same day as a Diana Krall CD that I had ordered and I have to say that it is pretty close to a toss up as to which one I like best. You did a marvelous job on this. Thanks for making such wonderful music. Keep me posted on your musical adventures." D.D., Spring, TX

"Just wanted you to know how much we are enjoying your CD...GREAT JOB...Don't think we can wear it out by overplaying it...but we're trying!!!!" B&M, Chester, NJ

"What a great CD. I was very impressed." S.L., Cleveland, OH

"The CD is FABULOUS!!! I have never heard you do many of the numbers, and your voice has gorgeous refined and complex qualities I never heard before - trying as you always were to sing over 16 boisterous instruments through a not-perfect sound system. Your renditions, especially of My Funny Valentine and What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life are top-notch! You oughtta be on Broadway. I hope there are many more CD's to come in the future." J.O., Palm Springs, CA

"Your voice is like dark chocolate wrapped in honey." K.C., New York, NY

"What a great CD! Jan, you are terrific and should be very, very proud of the final product. We can't believe this won't lead to bigger and better things, if that is what you want. For people who drive to Florida several times a year, CDs are treasured and ranked. This will go to the top of our line...Thanks for the wonderful entertainment that we'll enjoy over and over." M.H., Toms River, NJ

"Thanks for sending the CD. It sounds so wonderful. I wish I could sing like you. Maybe in my next life." B.K., Whitefish, MT

"These are some of my all-time favorites done as beautifully as I have ever heard them -- Beautiful musicianship all the way 'round." D.W., Lock Haven, PA

"What a GREAT CD!! We love it. We had guests over for dinner and we had you in with Ella, Billie and Frank and they asked who that was...It was a proud moment!! That last note on "Devil" would make Barbra herself proud. We gave it 4 stars ****!!" J&S, Hoboken, NJ

"I very much enjoyed your CD and enjoyed listening to it a few times on my way to work. Great group behind you." J.T., Tucson, AZ

"I've listened to the CD 5 or 6 times more. It gets better everytime...I can't decide what my favorite song is, so I guess I'll keep listening."
M.H., Toms River, NJ
