"…is precise
and golden.
Few jazz vocalists
can achieve such a
sound with
the appearance
of such ease.
Her voice glides
from her like
the clear call
of a flute,
but with every bit
of the soul of
a stand-up bass."

**Review** "Things I Meant To Say"
Derek Sivers
Cd Baby

Stretching the jazz palette into the softness of acoustic folk and the accessible warmth of pop, Fleming's voice carries melody with unusual resonance; she knows how to draw out the sensuality within a line, how to stretch notes like pulling taffy. Backed by the supple voice of guitar, light strings, humming bass, and a number of other featured instrumentalists, Jeni's sweet delivery, reminiscent of Norah Jones, makes for a distinct album as colorful and expressive as the seasons. Within one breath, she can cast a spell that leaves her listener holding his breath, simply by pushing on the subtleties one least expects, letting the mysteries swirl and slide off her release. Truly, this is a generous and bountiful album.
