“Jeannie Tanner is a triple-threat Chicago singer-trumpeter-composer – Tanner probably couldn’t play an unmusical phrase if she wanted to.” – Chicago Tribune
“When I listen to Jeannie Tanner’s music, I’m reminded of what we call standards. That’s not just Tin Pan Alley with your Gershwins, Porter, your Rodgers and Hart; I also hear Brill Building influences like Mann & Weil, King & Goffin and Bacharach & David…” – Jason Marck, WBEZ / NPR Chicago
“Chicago does not lack for engaging trumpeters, vocalists, pianists, bandleaders, songwriters and arrangers — but how many can do it all?Jeannie Tanner happens to be one… If you’ve ever been fortunate enough to hear her pick up a horn, or sing a ballad or unveil an original song, you know that she practically exudes music.”
