The Grande Dame "Diva Joan Cartwright" is by far the most amazing woman I have met in my relatively young years - - - being that it is probably my fourth or 8th time around this planet! Joan is a beautiful soul who has an extraordinary talent - She sings the blues, jazz and is a web diva - THE BEST! THE BOMB! She has been an amazing friend to me and has spoiled me as I hope I have spoiled her sustaining one another in times of need indeed. Joan is a Queen and those of you who do not know her; make sure you do.

5/1/07 - IN PURSUIT OF A MELODY
I really have to say that I completely loved your CD! It crosses Racial boundaries, age and its just uplifting! I really enjoyed the mixture of musical genres. The dance tracks and retro mixed in the history of jazz influences. It was brilliant. I know a legend. After listening to your CD and your band I was like I have met a legend! It was similar to like a musical buffet for the senses! Well done.

1/22/2007
Watched the other
videos from the new link (I've already done the website ones, including
the art gallery) and you seem to be an amazing performer/woman - I wish we
had someone like you here in the UK!!
I've never been a big internet user until now, but looking at how you
promote music/arts as well as your performances through the internet, your
network is a great example of how to do it....fantastic!. I do consider
myself small fish/a freshman in the pond, however, I can really relate to
your passion, and appreciate your work, knowing that, if I had your
knowledge, time and spare funds I would want to do something very much on
the same line...
"Big Respect" JC, the more I learn about your work, the more I
am convinced you are really living the love of music sincerely and I take
my hat off to you!!
Love your version of God Bless the Child, the Scat Session and what you do
with youngsters etc.... - forget it, no point naming titles to prove
I've listened/watched, its all great!!.
Take it from me, I don't BS - Tried to get your book via Amazon, no luck.
I do intend to go back to your site to sort this as soon as get the time.
Sincerely, Love and Music Rules!

Hi Joan, when I hear your songs it feels like: As deep as the ocean as its waves, so calming and nice. Feelin' Good!!!
Great
music from a great lady! (August 2006)
Reviewer: Salena
Joan's voice is so soothing and bluesy. I had the pleasure of buying this
CD as well as her others while in Shanghai this summer. Her shows are
great and she even gives shout outs! I would encourage everyone to buy her
music: it mellows you, it soothes you, it tantalizes you!
Joan is one of the most authentic entertainers in the business
Reviewer: ericwyatt
Joan has one of the most entertaining shows you can see live. She keeps
the audience involved and is REALLY GREAT TO WORK WITH!! The cd is a Must
Have!

- Joan Cartwright The Grand Dame of Jazz - Joan's new recording, In Pursuit of a Melody could be the very best recording to be released in 2006. I have always referred to Joan Cartwright as the diva. Well, Joan is certainly one of the most talented singer songwriters in the business, she can hold her own with the very best. - Miss Sandra Kaye

Hi Joan,
It was such a pleasure meeting you at the play and I look forward to us getting together soon. I absolutely loved your CDs. I will have to get more copies (autographed I hope) to share with a few friends. I am getting an early start on my Xmas gifts this year!

This is a musical voyage of where we have been and

Mo' power to you home girl!

This recording could be the very best one to be
released in 2006. I have always referred to Joan Cartwright as the diva.
Well, Joan is certainly one of the most talented singer songwriters in the
business, she can hold her own with the very best. This recording however
shows her talent to the ultimate and you are going to love it. Remember, I
told you so.
This
record is Hot! Something for every age to enjoy
Reviewer: Lynne O
Only a mad woman or a genius could put together such
diverse elements while maintaining the high quality of the music... A very
interesting project, this. The samples definitely left me wanting to hear
more. Joan is a smooth Jazz vocalist with an R&B flava to her sound. She's
also a hot mama hipster hanging out with her outrageously talented cutting
edge hip hop diva daughter. You go ladies! The band is hot-the tracks are
clean. What more can I say? Good work - knock' em dead y'all!

impressive point being, it's informative, attractive, educational and done
for us by us no pun intended. It's tops!!!!!!

Diva Joan Cartwright,
I was just recently in Atlanta, GA and visiting my brother RAY BROWN, whom you know. I heard you for the 1st time and it blew my mind. "Feelin Good" is smoking, you can truly claim to be a "DIVA."
Why aren't you recording and releasing more? It's been too long since "Feelin Good" came out, have you released anything since? Have you appeared out here on the West Coast?
We have a 24/7 Jazz&Blues station, KJazz/88.1fm that you should send a CD to so that Jazz/Blues fans out here and around the world could get to hear you since KJazz is on the www.JazzandBlues.org.
God has blessed you and you should share that blessing with as many people possible and us Jazz/Blues fans out here on the West coast would sure appreciate hearing a true DIVA.
Peace my beautiful AFRICAN-AMERICAN DIVA, hope you will soon release more "Smokin'" CD's.
Ray Brown my Brother, says "hi", he still living in Atlanta.

Great
interpretations!
Reviewer: Tom Burt
Joan Cartwright's, Feelin' Good CD, truly demonstrates what Jazz-Vocal
interpretation is all about. Quite obviously, Joan, is in a class by herself
as she makes each song her own here. There is no doubt about it...one of
today's Jazz greats...Bravo!
Thanks,
to my fans!
Reviewer: Diva Joan Cartwright

Feelin Good swings and is full of life thanks to the emotive vocal artistry
of Ms Cartright and her wonderful accompanists.I definitely recommend it as
a fine example America's Only Classical Music: Jazz.

Reviewer: franklin gaskin

i let someone here it and NEVER got it back! but hopefully i'll be able to
get anothher when I get there and we can go over the material and maybe get
some gigs there in the Atlanta area I'll keep listening as the days go by
between now and then and hope to have a good grasp on the tunes. ciao
Absolutely
spectacular I listen to it often while painting or back ground music
Reviewer: Christine Velez Stone
very inspirational,makes you want to get up and swing dance. I love the
rthym the beat is jumping and Joan's sense of humor and witt comes dancing
through the speakers to you and yes she also sings the blues in such a way
that you actually lament for a moment or two, but then she comes through
with insirational strength, and sensuality. Thank you Joan love it, love it,
love it!!!
Joan Is
Out Of Sight!
Reviewer: Sandra Kaye
I Love "Feeling Good" Joan has a sound that is like no one else, mature and
sexy with lots of charm and sophistication. Joan is also one of the finest
songwriters alive. The personnel is among the best musicians in the
business. The whole CD is like coming to a night club performance and
feeling happy you came. That's why I love "Feeling Good" Just one listen and
you will love "Feeling Good" too.
Love and Music,
Diva JC
