Press reviews
Soundboard: The Scene
There has been a lot of buzz around Canadian Jazz Singer Diana Panton since her 2005 debut album.
Diana frequently collaborates with Canadian Jazz heavyweights Don Thomson and Reg Schwager and has garnered critical acclaim for her work, along with nominations for both the Junos and the National Jazz Awards.
With her latest release, Pink, Diana has put out a collection of well-crafted songs that highlight her soft, sincere vocals.
In a time when it seems that every young woman with a pretty voice wants to become the next Sarah Vaughan, Diana stands out from the crowd.
Hong Kong Hi-Fi Review
A rare and outstanding vocalist, Diana Panton has the magical ability to draw the audience into listening attentively to her album track by track.
It’s uncommon to find such a fresh, appealing and beautiful female vocalist combined with great skill and a delicate voice that is nonetheless full of color and variations.
Compared with recent female jazz contemporaries, none of their voices, nor their recordings, can match the high standard put forth by Diana Panton’s smooth, elegant, delicate, refreshing and distinctively charming vocal style.
Ottawa Citizen
Many albums are shooting for at least a bit of the classic burnished beauty and heartfelt lyricism that’s abundantly audible on Pink. For whatever reasons, they fall short. For Panton, it just seems to come naturally.
Jazz Life
Among the many new vocal stars on the jazz scene today, Diana Panton has special charms.
No other vocalist recaptures the atmosphere of the quality analog LP days, as well as Diana. Her coquettish voice and quick vibrato is reminiscent of the great girl singers ranging from Rosemary Clooney to Blossom Dearie.
Also, her selection of songs is amazing. Surprisingly, the bonus track is a cover of a Ron Sexsmith song – this too is fantastic!
