JAZZ WISE MAGAZINE 4 ****

"Beautifully produced and thoughtfully put together.... long may she continue to put out music of this quality and variety."  Victoria Kingham

"Janette Mason is an extremely talented Jazz musician. Not only that, she plays keyboards in my band, Holy Holy. I have had the pleasure of hearing her latest album. She re-imagines Classic Rock songs by Bowie and Bush, the Golden Age of Standards by Rogers and Hart and other great melodies. Her latest oeuvre ReWired is gorgeous, relaxing and even challenging, but never a dull moment.”
