Jazz Quintet at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Washington DC
"I had the pleasure of attending one of Joan’s shows in January 2002 and I became an immediate fan. She has a delightful way of engaging her audience by blending a disarming formula of humor and a sultry voice that will move you to both laughter and tears. And she always leaves you feeling better about yourself and the world around you.

As a people leader and an executive in a global corporation, I find it useful to organize quarterly meetings. After a day of discussions that can be pretty heavy at times, Joan lifts our spirits with a sense of song, style and humor. It is also very comforting to know that Joan is a true professional who can be counted on to deliver."
Jerry Reisberg - VP, Dunn and Bradstreet
