The Morning Call
"I met a lovely singer last Saturday at Glen Burtnik's British Invasion concert. Her name is Nancy Coletti and she is a NJ treasure! I swapped a piece of paper for her CD, "Black Coffee" - a delightful collection of old standards from the Great American Songbook. The band backing her up is very competent, in short, it's a very pleasant listen for a Saturday afternoon. Nancy demonstrates a really broad dynamic range and consistently evokes emotions through these songs that reflect what I imagine the songwriters were trying to achieve! Brava!"
Gerry Jurrens
"An exhilarating performance Thursday night at the Hotel Bethlehem … three soulful sets with an inspired selection of classic jazz numbers and popular song. Nancy is a superb vocalist and the venue is terrific … reminded me of the best of New York when New York had affordable (and comfortable) jazz clubs. Looking forward to hearing you again soon"

Hi Nancy, I really enjoyed listening to your voice and some great interpretations of those classic tunes. I especially liked “Hampts” Aurora Borialis. And by the way, fantastic job on your CD Black Coffee…..I must say your voice has incredible tonality, dynamics and range and what’s more is very pleasing to the ear. Along with Judy Palma, Paul Rostock, Bill Goodwin, Jimmy Leahey and Nelson Hill you are the icing on the cake. Awesome! Take care……….. Danny
