“…she engages the listener by seeming to put her whole soul completely forward…after hearing her just once, you’ll never want to let her go.” – Will Friedwald, The Wall Street Journal 

 

"...stream-of-consciousness reflections by a singer reining in emotions until they exploded from within…(an) enigmatic woman of mystery forging her own path.” - Stephen Holden , New York Times 

"The singer has made it known that she's one to watch ...on her rise to the top." - All About Jazz 

"Her voice is warm, with a touch of vulnerability, and a believability...a young jazz singer worth discovering." - NPR 

“…one of the finest jazz singers to come from our time.” - Richard Gangi, 89.5 WFIT FM, Melbourne, FL 

"An intimate vocalist who sounds as if she is singing directly at each listener....clearly a singer with a potentially significant future." - Scott Yanow, L.A. Jazz Scene 

"'In the Indigo' is 3 a.m. driving music, Clint Eastwood-movie jazz, and so sensual you'd be going for broke if you put it on as seduction music." - Peter S. Scholtes, City Pages 

"...a quiet confidence, an innate sense of swing and languorously seductive phrasing. On this debut, she does standards, a John Mayer tune and a couple of originals. Quite impressive." – Jon Bream, Minneapolis Star Tribune 

 

"Each decade we "discover" a great new jazz inflected talent. There was Lee Wiley...Jeri Sothern...Blossom Dearie...Diana Krall...Jane Monheit. To that list, we must now add Nancy Harms! Her concept and presentation are refreshing and exciting...Bravo, Nancy. I am knocked out by your CD." - Peter Michael Bardach 

 

"Sultry, moody, anything but fragile, Ms. Harms creates a presence that is substantial – in control, and in my mind, it’s what separates her..." - Doug Boynton, girlsingers.org 

 

"She shapes words as if they taste delicious. Her swing is innate and roomy. Somehow she combines sultry with cool. Each song is confidence whispered in your ear, intimate and alluring. The first time you hear this voice, you’ll wonder, ‘Who’s that?’ The next time, you’ll think, ‘Ahhh…Nancy Harms.’ That’s how exceptional she is, and how memorable." - Pamela Espeland, jazz writer
