“Sultry, clever, sweet and smart, Jenny Bray sings it all” – Marty Ross-Coane Radio Times, WHYY/NPR Philadelphia
“Singer-Songwriter Jenny Bray performs her original masterpieces flawlessly. Laced with wit, beautiful harmonies and exquisite musical knowledge, they never amount to any less than a show stopping, room silencing spectacle. Don’t ever miss Jenny Bray.” – Alex Verda, Metalines Studios
“Bluesey, sharp, mellow and Jazzy, Jenny Bray is all of these things. How do I know? Because I have been listening quite by chance to Jenny’s latest CD, `Me`, with a view to creating a broadcast around Jenny`s music. Jenny’s music contains real songs based on her own experiences.” – “If you’ve had the pleasure of seeing Jenny play live over the last couple of months, you know this CD won’t be one to miss. For those who have not heard Jenny before, Me is certainly one to give air space to in your living room. You will not be disappointed.” – Steve Bewick, Freelance jazz broadcaster.
“Another delightful piece by song-writer Jenny Bray. As usual, she has created something that sounds simple and comfortable, but uses unexpected harmony. It sooths you and then makes you sit up and make pictures in your mind: you are sorry when it ends, and want more. Lovely.” – Alan Edgar, musician, conductor, composer about Angels On The Shore.
“Jenny Bray is exciting and innovative” – Paul Lecitra. Executive Director, New Hope Pennsylvania Performing Arts Festival.
“Bray’s music startles the listener: the lyrics, complex meditations, embrace through imagery and the small gestures of daily living, loss, love, joy and the desire for personal freedom; the music, a provocative style with roots in rock, jazz, blues and classical, is uncompromising, in its insistence on surprise and beauty – luminous, astonishing.” – Cheryl Baldi, Board Of Directors For Friends Of Writers Inc. New York City. Bucks County Poet Laureate. MSA Warren Wilson Program for Writers, USA
“I love that Jenny Bray track ‘Drive The Bass’, I could listen to that track all day long!” – Phil White, BBC Radio Humberside Producer

“Keep up the great work, Jenny. I was seeking a new challenge when I attended your course many years ago, never having played jazz before, and boy did I find one lol! Made me realise how little I actually knew but also helped me to grow. I learned SO much from it and gained many opportunities to play with and learn from some great musicians – opportunities that I would never have experienced otherwise. So many inspiring tutors also. Huge thanks to all of you.” – Dave Allot
“I attended a series of Jenny’s Jazz Workshops between 2014 and 2016, and would highly recommend to anyone looking to expand their music knowledge. Not only did these workshops improve my confidence as a performer, but my skills in composition and communication were improved too. I got to work and perform a long side musicians who had years more experience than I did, and it was so helpful to engage with them and improve as a result. The workshops allowed me to perform a various locations that I wouldn’t have had access to otherwise, and gave me memories that I have cherished for almost a decade!” – Meg Howe
“These jazz courses were what inspired me to start playing music again. I did a few of the 10 week courses ending with concerts at Burton Agnes. Jenny and Ray and the other tutors were so encouraging and it gave me confidence to try new things like playing jazz on harmonica which I’d never done before. Great to have the opportunity to play alongside brilliant experienced musicians in stately homes and small jazz clubs. I went on to play in a band for a brief but exciting time. I loved it and would highly recommend the course.” – Pete Woods
