"Jeanie's vocals are a touch of class with a sound that is both stylish and personal, and characterized by a refreshingly English delivery."
John O’Neill, former jazz critic of The Sunday Times
This page previews Jeanie's compositions; she is about to release her debut album 'The Magical Mirror', which will feature all these 10 original tracks.
"It's GREAT!! It's catchy as Hell!!!" Shane MacGowan of The Pogues
'The Magical Mirror' is a collection of observations of family, friends, lovers and nemeses. A mix of sexy Latin numbers with some bebop, vocalese and ballads - the tracks reflect different musical styles, eras and influences - they are nostalgic yet fresh.

She gigs regularly on the London jazz circuit to sustained acclaim with her quartet and in other ensembles, including Jazz and Cocktails. She has sung backing vocals for Luddy Samms (The Drifters) fronted Al Wynette's band at the 606 Club and works with some of the best musicians on the British Jazz scene today; she is also compere for The Laurie Morgan Trio.
