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 Sarah Vaughan have I been so impressed by a new singer.
Miles Davis (1949)
In the midst of the Terrible Tempest of Tortured Sounds that are being heard on records these days, Jeri s soft, searching style can be considered a welcome haven in the storm.
Mel Mandel, Down Beat (July 2, 1952)
The voice of Jeri Southern is a sound that s hard to forget. As former Times arts editor Charles Champlin recalled: That smoky sound and that special way with lyrics made her just perfect for intimate clubs. She was one of the true originals. Leonard Feather, Los Angeles Times (August 8, 1991)
This is one Southern breeze that is going to kick up quite a storm before she is through.
Dick Williams
Chicago Mirror-News (1951)
It is the largely indescribable quality of personality that is Jeri s primary power. She comes through as a girl who feels music sensitively and who doesn t dig distorting it for quick commercial gain. Equally effective is her sound and her attention to lyrics, so that there is no mistaking the story contours of each song. Her choice of numbers is uniformly intelligent and apt for her particular style with a song
Nat Hentoff
Down Beat (November 1955)
Jeri has brought melancholy to a new height, and, it seems to me, that this becomes increasingly so each time I hear her. But perhaps that s so only because the style and the person is so deceptively different than the affect. She seems only intent on being a musician, a pianist and a singer, only concerned with good tunes and lyrics.
