"In the 17 years that I have been Stage Manager, Joanna Jordan's concert was one of the best harp concerts I have ever seen here." 
Dennis O'Connell, CARNEGIE HALL 

"...the classical excursions are a model of technical elegance as she (Jordan) works cross-over elements in music with suave versatility." 
Geoff Chapman, THE TORONTO STAR 

"The sound of the Electric harp is phenomenal---and the album CLAZZIC brings together a wide variety of music giving it all a new face--Joanna's approach to the Prokofiev C Major Prelude is exquisite"
Michael Lyons, Music Director/Program Host
THE NEW CLASSICAL 96.FM TORONTO

"JOANNA JORDAN, THE PHENOMENON: Jordan is a world-class maestro of the harp. Absolutely superb. The elegance of her music, the virtuosity, the tempo, the intelligent variances and nuances, and above all, the multidimensional mastery of the musical cadence define the magnificent and unsurpassed talent of Joanna Jordan. True, it is an electric harp, but, the warmth of her musical interpretation, the rich choice of her repertoire, and the nostalgically delightful and sweet ambiance she creates, crown Jordan as the first lady of the contemporary harp. This fine musician is a true gem; La crème de la crème." 
Maximillien De Lafayette, WORLD ART CELEBRITIES JOURNAL DEC/2004-JAN 2005 

"Our concerts with CLAZZ appealed to the wide range of musical tastes in both sold-out concerts. Their ability to move between genres while retaining the integrity of each style is unparalleled. Joanna's warm personality and charm created an intimacy between the audience and the performers. She's one of the country's best musical communicators."
Carol-Ann Douglas, GUELPH SPRING FESTIVAL 

"Aside from her technical prowess on the harp, Joanna is musical...she plays each piece as if she means it!" 
Mike Forrester, CLASSICAL 96 FM 

"I thoroughly enjoyed their performance. Joanna's spirit, enthusiasm, and obvious love of her harp and her fellow performers resulted in a performance that appealed equally to all types and ages in the audience. That's a very rare commodity." 
Paul Godfrey, THE TORONTO SUN 

"CLAZZ cares. Their talent and versatility combine to create music that is an absolute joy to hear." 
Bob McAdorey, GLOBAL TELEVISION 

"Joanna Jordan completely changed my conception of the harp. I was quite surprised to hear how hip and rhythmic the harp could be, and how well CLAZZ performed all styles, including rock." 
Benjy Karch, CHUM FM
