Review by John Hammel, WNTI radio (8/15/2004)

Jan Findlay - Old Devil Moon - Fairway Productions - Wow! Two reviews ago I was tossing around adjectives like nuance and balance. Add subtlety, innately pitch perfect intonation and phrasing and toss in a pinch or three of swing and rubato. Whaddya get. A great jazz vocal record by local area musician and singer Jan Findlay, who had the dubious distinction of being the first guest ever on my radio program fourteen years ago. She was terrific then and the intervening years have only served to accrete an ever greater sense of musicality to her art. Jan is the real deal with a terrific song selection, a great group of players behind her who support and enhance like the greatest of lieder accompanists and a propulsive joie de vivre that pushes these versions into the realm of the definitive. Jan's so good she could cow everyone else but the best singers from hanging up their performing shoes and applying themselves more assiduously to their day jobs. Do I sound like a fool in love. You bet. With this record. Check this out and where you can catch Jan live at the Garage in NYC. Go to Google. Figure it out. It's worth the effort.
