Janet Planet is such an exemplary vocal artiste that anything she graces with her vocal chords benefits.- Alan Bargebuhr, Cadence Magazine
The voice of the New Jazz Culture... amazingly powerful, with seemingly limitless expression.- Jazziz Magazine
Like most monster musicians, Janet is an expert at the production of beautiful sound. Her profound ability to help adult singers find and enhance their own sound through advanced vocal techniques keeps them flocking to her week-long Tritone workshops year after year. Some have come to camp with little more than raw talent and left with all they needed to create and market their own recordings. Janet is a phenomenal teacher and a supportive coach.- Bob DeRosa, Owner of Tritone Jazz Fantasy Camps
