Janet Planet - Of Thee I Sing


A swinging, cross-country journey that celebrates the sites, cities and landscape across the United States. The spirited and masterful Ms. Planet takes listeners to a place where they remember the goodness in people, the beauty of our land, and a love for the place we call home. In addition to Janet’s customary excellence, the good old American ingenuity of arrangers John Harmon, Tom Washatka, and Tom Theabo, convert well-know standards into high-octane jazz, fueling a very hip trip. “The supremely talented Ms. Planet can stylishly sing anything.”


Isobel Neuberger; “A lovely dedication to our country.

Karrin Allyson;Planet’s voice is stunning, singing each note as if nothing else mattered.”– Ike Sturm; “Janet brings new life to treasures that long to be heard.” – Gene Bertoncini http://www.janetplanet.com/
