Here's what some our past clients have to say:
 

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


"Joan-we loved you and your NY Band, High Society Rhythm. I heard (and overheard) many very complimentary comments about you, the group and the music selection."
Marianne Casey - Manulife Wood Logan – Danbury Connecticut

“Joan and her wonderful New York Jazz band was exactly what we needed for our annual gala – an entertainer in every sense of the word. She’s the total package – a wonderful voice, and a warm, engaging, funny, energetic personality. Equally important, she was a pleasure to work with!”

Thank you for a wonderful evening and great memories. If you ever need a referral please give my name, I would give you the best recommendation!”
Dave McCabe- New Rochelle, NY

“After hearing Joan and her band perform at a special event, I knew that she was one I wanted to have as entertainment for my 50th birthday party. Joan was enthusiastic, talented, humorous and willing to go the extra mile if it meant making my Birthday celebration extra special. I highly recommend Joan and High Society Rhythm.”
