JESSY J
QUOTES
 
"Few musicians, no matter the musical genre, have made as powerful of an immediate impact as this talented multi-instrumentalist and composer."
~Saxophone Journal Magazine
 
" the instrumental and vocal songs that fuel Jessy's albums with both Latin influences as well as mainstream jazz come to her as effortlessly as a spray of Latin samba capping a jazz wave. And it's a tide that seems set to keep on going."
~Gainesville Sun
 
“expressive innovator busy setting trends…”
~ALL ABOUT JAZZ
 
 
“True Love demonstrates that Jessy has talent, chops, and originality, projecting a sound and identity of her own"
 ~ALL Music Guide
 
Jessy J also received high critical acclaim from publications across the board, including Latina Style Magazine, Jazziz Magazine and Saxophone Journal Magazine. She was even credited with starting a new movement in Jazz in the May cover story of JAZZIZ magazine and “increasing the boundaries of jazz both musically and demographically." People en Espanol says simply this young Latina is “revolutionizing jazz.” 
 
~La Prensa (San Antonio)
 
 
"chart-topping performer, who headlines the inaugural Tioga JazzFest on Sunday, draws on such a wealth of influences and background that it's akin to sewing a seamless, eye-catching tapestry despite using enough colors fill to a large box of Crayola Crayons."
 
~Gainesville Sun
 
"Jessy J oozes Jazz. She looks stunning, she moves sexy, she sings smooth and she can really handsomely honk her horn; what's not to like?"
 
~Montecito Journal
 
"When singer/composer/saxophonist Jessy J sets her sights on a career goal, she follows through with laser-like precision. Two years and two albums after her auspicious debut on Peak Records/Concord Music Group, Jessy J has been selected by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) for the prestigious ASCAPLUS writing award, announced new management and is returning to the studio with Grammy Hitmaker Paul Brown. "
 
~Urban Music Scene
 
 
"Whether performing with stars like Bolton, Jessica Simpson, Michael Bublé or the Temptations, appearing at major international jazz festivals with her own band, or working on her next recording, Jessy’s example defines combination of natural talent and gritty determination that she and other Latinas are mustering to make their mark in music."
 
~Latina Style Magazine
 
 
"With her new album True Love riding high on the smooth jazz charts and such hit tunes as “Tequila Moon” and “Tropical Rain” getting massive exposure on radio stations across the country, the fetching young instrumentalist seems to have it all. As with most success stories, however, Jessy’s rise to the top has been the product of a lot of hard work and a never ending focus on accomplishing her goals."
 
~Latina Style Magazine
  
 
“her signature style-effortlessly smooth, sassy, Latin-flavored, virtuoso –is very much in evidence. Anyone that has seen her high- energy live performances knows that the young super star is always ready to go. From the downbeat, she is engaging..
 
~Tucson Lifestyle Magazine

"As I listen to TEQUILA MOON, I wonder if this is how I´d have felt on a first listen to, say, Boney James, or Dave Koz, or Grover Washington, Jr., and I´m thinking, "yes" because she´s that good! This is one of those cases where you just know… from the music and delivery to her personal drive and dedication to excellence… there is absolutely no stopping this empowered performer. Join us in watching her Smooth Jazz star rise to the absolute top! "
