Soulful Deeply Moving Singing

survivor

Liane is wonderful - a huge voice with a great range and she uses dynamics to real advantage (especially on "Picture in a frame"). A voice soaked in jazz - and the blues - and she swings like the clappers. Live, she's outstandingly funny too. I've sat near her on a couple of gigs and seen her eyes glistening with tears after she's sung a song that she's felt deeply. And she's one of three singers who can move ME to tears, the others being Paul Robeson and Billie Holiday. Yep - she's the real deal all right.

The Real Deal

BillJazzfan

Liane is one of Britain's finest jazz performers and has been raising the roof in UK jazz clubs for many years. Liane truly sings from the heart and is a fine and dynamic pianist. Shades of Nina Simone and Laura Nyro here, but Liane has her own voice - this is not a marketing man's idea of a jazz singer by any stretch of the imagination. Fine choice of material - in my opinion a fabulous album! Nice one Liane!
