Reviews
Here are some of the rave reviews Jennifer has received:
"Parde has
captured a side of jazz music that I have missed. I'm happy to
hear the more natural side of jazz, with themes that are more
unique than broken hearts and true love. Her music focuses on
the mystical and natural. . ."

"Her pure,
rather ethereal voice doesn’t represent a huge leap from, say,
Carole King or Carly Simon, but is enough steps past either to
suggest proximity to the greater inventiveness and dynamism of
Joni Mitchell. . . As a songwriter, Parde inches even closer to
Mitchell. Her way with words is astutely evocative as, on such
richly conjured compositions as “Black Unicorn,” “Undertide” and
“December Light,” she paints densely layered dreamscapes. . ."

Jazz Times review by Christopher Loudon
"Jennifer's great jazz works set the tone for our party. She did
an awesome job in selecting a talented and professional group of
local back-up musicians, and I would recommend her highly to
anyone seeking a jazz artist for their event."
-Mark Hackley, 9/15/07 (Waynesboro, VA)
"Thank you so much for playing for us. You sing like an angel."
- Sally Crisp, Unity by the Bay Church (Severna Park, MD) "Thanks again for coming on Backstage Pass. We really enjoyed it.
I definitely rank it as one of my favorites."
- Joanna Lubbes (Cable 10 in Frederick, MD)
"Even when
confronted with the challenge of delivering vocal performances
in a variety of styles including rock, R&B, and jazz, Jen
effortlessly responds with powerful force and yet with a
richly smooth sound that accentuates the music in provocative
ways..." -Kenneth Duque (responding to Jennifer's
vocal recording session work) |
