'Australian vocalist/pianist Janet Seidel is a true blue jazz baby.
She's been compared to everyone from Doris Day to Peggy lee
and it's definitely fair to say that her understanding
of the classics is equal to that of those legendary greats.

She manages the hat trick of sounding flirtatious, confident
and even wryly humorous, lending an extra depth to the songs.'
Scott Barker in Tuscon Lifesyle magazine USA

Doris and Me
Janet Seidel presents her delightful celebration of the life and songs of Doris Day.
In her long film career Doris Day made 39 movies, 18 of which were musicals. Yet it is as a singer that she is most remembered. She recorded 650 songs many of which became popular in the standard repertoire. Songs like 'Secret love', 'Pillow talk' 'Somebody loves me' and 'Que sera sera' are forever associated with her sunny feel good delivery and pleasant sounding voice. It is from this huge repertoire that Janet Seidel has devised a performance celebrating the life and songs of Doris Day.

Janet has often been vocally compared to Doris Day and her show, funny and poignant at times, is presented with the superb arrangements which are very much the hallmark of Janet Seidel.

Dear Blossom

Janet's trio tribute to icon Blossom Dearie, launched in June 2004, has already enjoyed sell out seasons at National Press Club, Canberra; Adelaide Festival Theatre and Woodfire Cabaret in Sydney.

'Someone should send Janet Seidel flowers for her delicate and engaging tribute to a truly eccentric music talent, the ageless Blossom Dearie. She takes a representative sample from her catalogue and sings with a touch of the breathy finesse that characterises a Dearie song. Seidel is a very fine singer in a very cool way with a light touch on the keys.'
- Review from the Adelaide Advertiser

The Art of Lounge
A superb collection of Jazz Lounge songs to satisfy any Jazz lovers and can be a delightful introduction for those not so savvy with the genre.  From her 3 award winning and best selling Art of Lounge CD's this show features a collection of the hit songs. 

'Australia's Queen of Lounge' - Julia Lester from ABC Classic Drive
'Nothing can hide the subtle artistry Janet and her judiciously chosen coterie of jazz musicians bring to jazz standards.' - Drum media

'In the second half the trio eases through a pile of audience requests (written on paper slips) from Crazy to Sondheim's Send In The Clowns and Jobim's One Note Samba. It was fun to watch them improvising arrangements as they went, even decorating Crazy with backing vocals.'
- John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald

awesome performance. I have never been so thrilled
by a performer. This lady is amazing - such pure clean vocals!
Stu Hamstra, Cabaret Hotline Online New York concert review, USA
