Musician

Janiece Jaffe

Born:

Janiece Jaffe grew up in a musical family.  Her mother was a preschool teacher and an opera singer and her father was a professor of classical music.  As a child her parents facilitated 'Opera Nights' where singing was the mode of conversation at the dinner table!

As a performer, Janiece has worked in collaboration with many great artists, including Freddie Hubbard, Frank Vignola, Keter Betts, Dominic Spera and Al Cobine. Jaffe has the flexibility to work with various groups from Big Band to Duos.  She is featured in Scott Yanow's Jazz Singer: The Ultimate Guide.

Janiece Jaffe is an incredible singer. No, I mean REALLY INCREDIBLE! She combines outstanding vocal technique with a solid awareness of the tradition of the great jazz vocalists. Yet she is uniquely herself. She has a very wide range of expression. Technically she can dazzle you with her creativity and her unerring accuracy. She takes chances but is always in control. Her high range exhibits an exquisite restraint. She is both hip and intelligent. She is both exhilarating and intimate. She has both humor and elegance. She is both pixie and queen. Janiece is rare! To hear her is a privilege.  - Dr. Bill Daily, UNC Charlottesville
