"This is truly a perfect Christmas album! As soon as you hear the stunning flute
and harp opening of the first song, you know you're in for a treat...and realize
A PERFECT CHRISTMAS: A Winter of Love is no ordinary Christmas CD.
Jane's song selections are unique, and the musical treatments (both vocally
and instrumentally) are sophisticated and contemporary. I love this album.
We'll be playing it often."
-Tom Kelly, President/General Manager,
Martini Lounge Radio, WHAT Philadelphia, PA
"No one tells a story through music the way Jane Norman does. Listeners will experience Christmas in a new way after hearing Jane's passionate and sensitive voice accompanied by the masterful arrangements of Richard Rome. This CD will be a favorite for years to come, and will rank at the top of every music lover's Christmas collection."

"Jane Norman's wonderful new CD ... 'A PERFECT CHRISTMAS; A Winter Of Love' is one of the outstanding releases by a multi-talented singer and TV star. My listeners love it and I do too!! I also must mention the
tasteful and beautiful arrangements by Richard Rome. Together with Jane's lovely voice
... a perfect combination."

"Jane Norman offers us a refreshing departure from the commonplace in her new CD. A PERFECT
CHRISTMAS captures the magic of this wonderful season. Her pretty voice works incredibly well with
George Rabbai's horns and Ron Kerber's flute. Tom Giacabetti's soft guitar causes the flavors to linger.
This CD will be a pleasing addition to our Holiday playlist."

Christmas Lullaby
Christmas Mem'ries
Count Your Blessings
What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?
The Christmas Song"

and experience as a communicator imbues her Christmas CD with just the right feeling of the season.
We're using the song from A Charlie Brown Christmas on our holiday Big Band Jump! ...on all our
commercial stations as well as both the Sirius and XM platforms. It's a privilege to have one of her tracks

Sid Mark (WPHT, 1210AM) whose very popular radio show which airs Saturdays
and Sundays, plays only Sinatra. However, he broke with tradition and played
"Come Rain Or Come Shine" from Jane Norman's new CD WITH LOVE. "I get hundreds of CDs from other singers and don't play any of them. But this one is special. Truly, one of the best albums I've heard," comments Sid Mark. "Jane's
voice is superb, and how nice that she gives members of the 47 piece orchestra a chance to shine -- as did Sinatra. I also love the rendition of 'Quiet Nights' that she does with a young Brazilian singer who sounds like Jobim"

Reviews of WITH LOVE & GONE TOO SOON |
"Jane Norman's WITH LOVE is a GREAT CD!!!! Enjoyed every track; great arrangements, great voice, great backup and I especially like the two numbers with Paul Jost. I hope this one goes far. Again, a great CD!!"
-Chris Neilsen, NPR radio
"This CD is as close to perfection as any I've ever heard. Jane's voice is pure liquid gold, and the album is a true marriage of a wonderful voice with incredible arrangements. What a joy to listen to!"
-Lou Powers, WBCB Radio
…This is a SPECTACULAR album! A stunner! As teenage girls are fond of saying, “Oh, my GOD!” I’ll tell you one thing, when this album was conceived, the creative juices were flowing big time. Jane, first of all, has the most perfect diction you’d ever want to hear in a vocalist. Her sonic instrument is as clear as a bell and an utter delight to listen to. The arrangements are probably the sauce that gives this dish its distinctive and delicious flavor. And then there’s the two duets with Paul Jost that are ever so musically playful. Everyone involved in the making of WITH LOVE should feel as proud as can be. You’ve earned the right. You’ve made a BRILLIANT album…and one in which I’m proud to add the following tracks to my radio station’s play list: “You Made Me Love You,” “I Get A Kick Out Of You,” “Bewitched,” “The Trolley Song,” “I Thought About You,” “Love Is Here To Stay.”
-Paul Richards, Program Director WHLI New York, New Jersey, Connecticut
The fall has never looked so bright with the arrival of the new Jane Norman CD. Jane Norman has a full, rich sound that plays perfectly next to recordings by Sinatra, Bennett and Krall. Her new CD WITH LOVE showcases many of the great standards we all know and love, but with Jane’s unique style. We especially love “Our Love Is Here To Stay” with Paul Jost; also, “I Get A Kick Out Of You” and “The Trolley Song” light up our phones. The joy of a full orchestra really makes this CD rise above the rest. The audience at the SPA is thrilled that Jane Norman is back. She is classy, artistic, and a breath of fresh air.
-Jeff Gehringer, Program Director The SPA KSPA/KFSD Radio Anaheim/San Diego, CA
Jane Norman’s WITH LOVE is lyrical perfection. Jane and arranger Richard Rome have that chemistry that few attain in the recording business. Count on me for plenty of airplay!!! I am a Jane Norman fan!!!
-Bill Miller, Host “The Bill Miller Show” (119 stations)
"My senses have now been stimulated to the extreme... listening to Jane's new CD WITH LOVE! It's the perfect
CD for those in love or those who want to be in love...and it's the perfect match between artist and arranger.
Richard Rome did some excellent arranging.
Every one of the songs shines with the beauty of Jane's voice. She is one of the few who can take a song...be
it contemporary, smooth jazz or evergreens from the Great American Songbook, and make it sound like it's her song...written especially for her. And her phrasing is perfect, interpreting each song with emotion and devotion.
Just listen to the lead-off "You Made Me Love You." Need I say more?
Jane added a couple of her own compositions to this Love collection: 'The Newness of the Morning' and
'In Your Heart', that sound to me like they are standards already. And the duets are a nice added attraction.
-Jim Stone-Big Band Swing-WLNZ Radio
"This CD exemplifies that rare combination of wonderful songs, new and old, intelligently phrased and sensitively interpreted with lush, gorgeous arrangements, all tastefully delivered WITH LOVE."
-Lynn DiMenna, Voices Among Us Radio WVOX
Sensitivity is the word immediately coming to mind when we listen to Jane Norman’s WITH LOVE collection. Jane Norman gives new meaning to familiar lyrics and introduces us to fresh melodies engendering new emotions. Jane is so comfortable to listen to. A treat for listeners.
-Don Kennedy, Host “Big Band Jump” (131 stations)
…“Delightful”… …“Marvelous”… …“One of the year’s Best CDs!”… All tracks will be played on my Radio Show. Thanks for keeping Great Music alive and well with Jane’s latest.
-Ron Della Chiesa WPLM/FM Boston/Cape Cod, MA; Providence, RI
What a loving tribute Jane has created to Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland! Beautifully performed against the brilliant arrangements by Richard Rome. Favorite tracks include: “You Made Me Love You,” “The Way You Look Tonight,” “Bewitched” and “Come Rain Or Come Shine.” Jane Norman has my vote!
-Jim Raposa, Host “Frank & Friends” (129 stations)
"I thank God for such great singers as Jane Norman. And what an impeccable style she delivers from
The American Song Book. Jane Norman is indeed a singer's singer, as her vocal talents shine with beauty.
Jane's CD's are a great part of GMMY Radio, and aired daily.
On Jane's newest titled WITH LOVE, there are 12 of the best songs ever recorded by any artist, and her renditions
are a thumbs up all the way. These songs are sung sensationally by this giant of a singer who sings them from the heart. WITH LOVE has the smack that others lack.
These songs are gems you will play over and over."
-Frank E. Dee, GMMY Radio
Jane’s Christmas CD last year was a real treat, and I look forward to a feature on WITH LOVE.
Also, GONE TOO SOON is really Dynamite!
-Warren Lawrence, Program Director WKNY Kingston, NY
Great new material. Jane’s smooth style blends with our format of adult standards. I love some of the Latin Style arrangements, and have added most of the album to my playlist on two stations.
-Gene Martin, Host WRZN/WITK FM Orlando/Tampa/Gainesville/Lakeland/Ocala, FL
We’ve been getting some very good reaction from our audience. Favorite cuts;
“Just The Way You Look Tonight”--Terrific “Quiet Nights”--Wonderful “The Trolley Song”--Great
“Bewitched”--Nice & Easy “In Your Heart”--Dreamy
“Gone Too Soon”--Sung “with love”
Jane’s “winter warm” voice is an easy fit for our audience!
-Timothy P. Schwer, Program Director WMBS Uniontown, PA
GONE TOO SOON is receiving Huge Response by listeners!
And I’ve been playing WITH LOVE ever since I received the CD.
-Don Wolff “I Love Jazz on Classic 99” St. Louis, MO
The latest CD from Jane Norman WITH LOVE is being added to our adult standard programming, and we are especially high on “The Trolley Song” and “I Get A Kick Out Of You.” Looking forward to Jane’s live national interview
on the popular “Gregg Hunter Niteside Show,” reaching a national audience in excess of 5 million, on Time Warner Cable, Cox Cable, Comcast Cables and radio stations and satellite operators coast to coast.
-Jack Roberts, Executive Producer CRN (Cable Radio Network) (11 million listeners)
Jane Norman’s WITH LOVE CD is another chapter of great songs from this fine personality/singer. She is so
talented both as an entertainer and singer. Richard Rome also did a great job working with Jane on this CD.
Love These Cuts:
1. Gone Too Soon (special EP) great tribute to Michael Jackson
2. Just The Way You Look Tonight
3. Get A kick
4. The Trolley Song
5. I Thought About You
These cuts are superb and bring a new style to her fine singing. Jane truly is a Philly Favorite!
-Bob Hamilton Adult Standard Radio Consultant
Jane Norman’s new CD WITH LOVE is wonderful! Love everything in the CD. I’ve always been a fan of “The Trolley Song” from “Meet Me In St. Louis.” Jane does a Great Job along with arranger Richard Rome!
-Gary Owens Legendary Broadcaster
Jane Norman is a breath of fresh air in every sense of the word. She sings like few others! “I Get A Kick Out Of You” is a trip to the top. The album is in rotation, and has been since Monday.
