"Jeanie Barton’s vocals bring a touch of class to this material, with a sound that is both stylish and personal, and characterised by a refreshingly English delivery." John O’Neill,former Jazz critic of The Sunday Times.
"Thank you all again for playing for us on Saturday. So many people said how amazing you were and how much it made their evening - it really did make it a special night. I think you may also be responsible for creating some rather interesting photos - I didn't see the Tico Tico conga but I hear there were some very amusing photographs taken!" A recent wedding client.

"What a pleasure it is to hear this talented and professional quartet. Jeanie Barton renders syncopated standards beautifully, aided by sensitive, sure footed accompaniment. A real relish, this group will grace anywhere they perform." Laurie Morgan, former AMD of the National Theatre and Founder of Club Eleven.

"Dear Jeanie, I’d like to thank you and your trio for making my colleague’s OBE Investiture Party so enjoyable. Everyone at the party enjoyed every song you sang; you all just seemed to get better and better as the night wore on. Again…thanks… both from my guests and from myself." A corporate client

"I just wanted to write and thank you so much for such an enjoyable evening at The Creamery. All my family, some of whom had travelled a distance to get there were all very impressed with you and your trio. It really lifted the spirit of the evening, and want to thank you for that. You deserve every success in your career." From a birthday party
