A few Press-clips :
“The future for Swedish jazz singers are secured. Thanks to Hanna Elmquist. Despite her youth, or maybe just because, she is already among our greatest and her name is mentioned with respect in jazzcircles. No wonder. By Hanna..s voice and phrasing it..s like she..s never been doing anything but singing jazz” / Barometern
“Hanna Elmquist is consider by many as the latest star on the Swedish jazz scene. The president of the jazzclub in Borlänge, Sweden was in aw over what he heard: Hanna has a future in jazz, he says. No artificial manners but natural and real. Today unknown, tomorrow to expensive for a jazz club in a middle sized town like this” Dala-Demokraten
“Hanna is predicted a shining future in jazz, it said in the program before her show yesterday. And for the audience who witnessed her brilliant performance it was very clear: We..ll hear more of this fabulous voice in the future. Hanna has obviously that “jazz nerve”, separating the grain from the chaff and will, if she manages her talent well, take her very far.” / Borlänge Tidning/Falu Kuriren
“Hanna Elmquist is a young very talented jazz singer. Hanna sings with warmth and depth in her voice. With perfect diction and language, she stretches and glides on the notes in a peerless way which gives it a wonderful elasticity to the phrasing. For me it..s the first encounter with Hanna Elmquist, which is a brilliant talent as a jazz singer, with the first impression being very positive with a musical expression full of energy, swing and temper” /Blekinge läns tidning
