REVIEWS

"Joanne Grauer is an incredibly talented musician and excellent teacher. We highly recommend her. "
- Marilee Maytan Hunt & Maytan Music Center- Reno, Nevada.

"Joanne Grauer is respected as a world-class pianist and her abilities as a composer and teacher are well documented. Her musicianship, personality and mature handling of situations is very high. I highly recommend her for any position she would ever consider."
- Dick Grove, President of Grove School of Music (Jazz) Los Angeles CA.

"I will not submit her to the indignity of applying the cliche that she plays like a man: it would be more fitting to credit her with playing like a superbly equipped pianist in the contemporary idiom...fantasize this dream playing piano like a female Bill Evans. Joanne Grauer makes such illusions unnecessary. She is real...."
- Leonard Feather, Los Angeles Times

"A pianist of awesome skill and sensitivity, Grauer is as lyrical a player as can be found on today's jazz scene...(she) is as capable a composer as she is a pianist...Don't miss her."
- A. James Liska, Valley Daily News

"A Remarkable Talent" - Roger Williams, Pianist

"One of the Best Pianists in the World" - Clint Eastwood, Actor/Director
