The Baltimore Orioles welcome Jill Hughes as she performs the National Anthem

LIVE: Jill Hughes @ the Tang Museum, 7/24 – Review, Greg Haymes, Nippertown.com

“Hughes graces the microphone with raw vocal beauty-classically trained-and a knack for personalized moments.” – Metroland

“Jill Hughes sings with her heart” – Times Union

Metroland newspaper names Jill Hughes Best Jazz Singer and Best Jazz/R&B Vocalist in 1993 and 1994, respectively.

“Jill Hughes sings with earth shaking power and authority. She has caught the ear of many a visiting rock and blues artists, like former Chuck Berry pianist, Johnnie Johnson. She is indeed one of our best kept secrets.” – Andrzej Pilarczyk

“(Jill’s) a cappella singing of “His Eye Is On the Sparrow” was one of the most soul stirring moments anyone could ever see.” – Dave Malachowski/Metroland

“Hughes toes the blurry jazz/soul/blues border with disarming ease and confidence, scatting with Ella one minute, wailing with Chaka another, and testifying with Etta the next.” – Metroland
