-When she steps our front, she commands our attention with a pleasing, rich voice packed with emotion.”

– Os Place Jazz Magazine

“She also took the piano for a bluesy, boogie woogi romp which was one of the unexpected highlights of truly magical night.”
– Wine and Jazz TV

“Jan Daley is an elegant presence. Whether full-out or in stage whisper, on-melody or dancing around it, her voice is buoyant, scrupulously controlled, and sincere. As, I suspect, One She’s Been Waiting For, This Could Be My Day and Now Don’t Give Me That Look, written by Jan Daley, illuminate writing chops...Daley deftly accompanies herself on piano.”
– Alix Cohen on Playing Around in NY.


“Elegant voice”..” It’s a joy to listen to. Hopefully Jan will continue to bring her magnificent voice to the masses in the future.”
– Alan Rock-WUCF/FM Orlando
