Claire Martin Reviews

"The best British jazz singer for a generation"
Mojo Magazine

"Talented and hip beyound her years...the most exciting jazz star to soar to my attention in a decade.."
Rex Reed - The New York Observer

"...impeccable as ever, her mellow, understated delivery always cutting to the heart of a lyric.
A voice of pure quality"

The Sunday Times

"...this is a singer who is mystifyingly talented and hip beyond her years."
The New York Observer


"Meet Claire Martin, the classiest, hippest most exhilarating British import since the Morgan Plus 4. The list of songs on 'Old Boyfriends' has a wondefully fresh look to it - carefully chosen standards, newer classics, less familiar recent compositions and even an original on which Martin collaborated"
Tom Krehbiel of CD Review

"the most accomplished and swinging new discovery is Claire Martin, a gorgeous English lark who bends her way in and out of tempos with awesome dexterity. 'Old Boyfriends' is a meticulous blend of brilliant material and flawless craftsmanship"
Rex Reed - The New York Observer

"perfect control, great rhythmic awareness and a superb dramatic sense - the mark of a top class singer."
The London Times

"an authority that many singers spend years striving for"
The Village Voice
