  • Clayton , Peter : writer of the sleeve notes to World Record Club's edition of "Jeri Southern Sings Cole Porter" (T 383)of circa 1965.
    He wrote of Jeri Southern , "...her voice has a pearly lustre which puts it immediately into the Peggy Lee class. Her diction somehow
    manages to to be perfect yet not pedantic.She resists the temptation to "act" songs , and you'll listen in vain for the manufactured
    lump in the throat or any bogus jollity . She seems to put her voice and intelligence at the disposal of the lyric writer and composer ."
    If Mr.Clayton ought to have added that Miss Southern's voice and intelligence were therefor at the disposal of her audience too , his
    final paragraph's summation of the Cole Porter album implied almost as much , for he wrote " ... Cole Porter's apparently limitless
    fund of verbal and musical invention , Jeri Southern's beautiful voice , and Billy May's witty arrangements make up a triangle
    which ought to be considered eternal . "

  • Cross , Bill : Editor/Journalist for Metronome magazine New York . Wrote re Jeri Southern for its December 1956
    issue under title " That Southern Comfort - The Understatement - In High Gear " .   I sat one night in Birdland , constrained .... by the announcement that the Birdland management respectfully requested silence during the time that Jeri Southern was singing , going so far as to forbear selling drinks during that half-hour or so to help maintain quiet.... As Jeri left the bandstand , a quiet, large man announced to no one in particular that he was going to commit suicide ... an idle threat ... (after) a not particularly good set ( one not
    well paced , but , rather , filled with soul- wrenching songs ) , but the songs were sung well, with all the clear, tense passion that
    Miss Southern can bring to such lyrice , and I knew just what the distraught citizen meant .
    Jeri ... has brought melancholy to a new height ... But perhaps that's so only because the style and the person is so deceptively different than the affect.   Because Jeri is detached, she has no gimmicks , unless you choose to call the a cappela performances that , nor is there any obvious attempt at real showmanship. She seems only intent on being a musician , a pianist and a singer , only concerned with good tunes and lyrics . Her ( classical ) musical background determined some of that I suppose .....

She has the special gift of making her version of a song assume a symbolic position in the lives of young lovers and old ones , too . Part of this may be attributed to the fact that her singing voice is her speaking - she was originally a soprano - but mostly it is because of her understanding of and total involvement with the lyric . ....

  • Hi-Note club , Chicago .
    B . J . Broyles - for Down Beat Magazine : February 10th , 1950 . Chicago —
    Hails Jeri Southern As New Star .
    What's My Name ? is a good tune and an appropriate title for what could very well be the theme song of a girl who plays and sings it so well. Except for those who have been there and know, or those who have already heard via the grapevine, just about everyone who goes into the Hi-Note here asks, " Who is she ? " It might occasionally take awhile , but sooner or later they ask ," Who's the girl ? "
    It is only natural that curiosity would be aroused by the rich, vibrant voice and the lovely defiant face above the keyboard.
    Previously  Unappreciated   —   So who is the girl ?  Jeri Southern .   She's been around Chicago for some two years, playing in
    various neighborhood spots, but has hardly been heard or appreciated until her present booking. Maybe it's because she is now working a room that is good both acousticallyand audience-wise. This jazz spot , with its dark intimacy , its black velvet backdrop ,
    and better than average p. a. system is a fine showcase for the sultry Jeri. A musician ' s musician , she also has the ability of holding the attention of any audience, which in itself is a remarkable feat for an intermission soloist.
    Studied Classics   —   Born in Omaha , she studied classical music from childhood until she came to Chicago . Now , however , she hasn ' t access to a piano other than on the job, and is genuinely disturbed that she cannot practice every day . Although
    she says " the classics are my baby," she enjoys good jazz and admits that bop fascinates her, but that she can't play it well herself . Says Jeri : " The only time I really am able to express myself is when I am playing classics or singing ."    Perhaps this explains her
    easy relaxation and the warmth and feeling she projects in every song .    Started Singing Recently   —   Jeri started singing about a year ago, and then only because someone told her she would be able to get more work if she both played and sang. And it's true that
    her voice and presentation of it seems to be a stronger selling point than her piano work .
    Nearly all her vocals are torch songs, such as After You , You ' d Better Go Now , We 'll Be Together Again, Detour Ahead ,
    Who Can 1 Turn To ? , and the aforementioned What ' s My Name ? All are done with a sincerity and emotion .
    Says Miles   •   •   •   Miles Davis who recently appeared opposite Jeri at the Hi - Note said of her : " Jeri has everything . . . looks , personality , and her choice of material is great. She doesn't play or sing the ordinary overworked things. Man , she sells !
    Not since I first heard Saraha Vaughan have I been so impressed by a new singer. I don't mean they're anything alike, but they both make you listen the first time you hear them, and keep on listening they have something new to offer .Nowadays, with the field of vocalists overcrowded , it is difficult for a newcomer not to be influenced by someone who is well known. Also, it is djfficult for the listening audience , accustomed to the sounds they hear on record and radio, not to associate a new voice or a new sound with those with whom they are familiar. This is not true of Jeri.  (( No Copyist , She -    )) It is almost impossible to identify her directly with anyone else . However , to give some idea of how she sounds, it might be said that her voice has the tonal quality of Patti Page, the huskiness of June Christy, and the pathos of Billie Holiday . Yet she in no way copies-or imitates them. She takes the same n umbers they have made famous and does them in a way that is entirely new and fresh . When asked her favorite soloists Jeri said : " Male vocalist I suppose is Billy Eckstine . I think he's wonderful . I also like Buddy Greco . " Girl vocalist ? " Mary Ann McCall and Sarah . It ' s a little harder to make a choice in pianists . I admire several , particularly Erroll Garner on some of the records he made a while back with
    Don Byas , Miles , and other combos." Would like combo — Jeri would like to organize a combo herself . " I feel that I need some rhythm behind me. I'd also like to cut some records and am waiting for the right opportunity . Nat Cole, another of her favorites, said of her, "She's great. If she got the right handling and bookings she'd make it . Jeri belongs in a spot in New York like the Blue Angel or Ruban Bleu . " Dizzy Gillespie was also impressed , and Jackie Cain and the Roy Cral unit who are working opposite her
    now say " She's got it . " We think so too .

In the beginning it had kind of a light sound and then as it got close to the Cole Porter album days it got kind of heavier and I think a little richer , but I never quite knew from one year to the other what was gonna happen when I opened my mouth ."
