".the singer has made it known that she's one to watch. With better known vocalists like Diana Krall, Gretchen Parlato, and Norah Jones at the forefront of the contemporary jazz vocalist movement, Harms will be in good company on her rise to the top." -Bridget Arnwine, ALL ABOUT JAZZ
"Her voice is warm, with a touch of vulnerability, and a believability.a young jazz singer worth discovering." -NPR



"…one of the finest jazz singers to come from our time." -Richard Gangi,
89.5 WFIT FM, Melbourne, FL
"Few debut recordings have as much depth and personal revelation as In the Indigo. Nancy Harms can swing with the best of them but her heart, her voice, her soul go far beyond the Great American songbook in both interpretation of standards and mining new material. One of the year's best local recordings." -Andrea Canter, JazzPolice



"An intimate vocalist who sounds as if she is singing directly at each listenerclearly a singer with a potentially significant future." Scott Yanow, L.A. Jazz Scene
"'In the Indigo' is 3 a.m. driving music, Clint Eastwood-movie jazz, and so sensual you'd be going for broke if you put it on as seduction music." -Peter S. Scholtes, City Pages
".a quiet confidence, an innate sense of swing and languorously seductive phrasing. On this debut, she does standards, a John Mayer tune and a couple of originals. Quite impressive." –Jon Bream, MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE
"Each decade we "discover" a great new jazz inflected talent. There was Lee Wiley.Jeri Sothern.Blossom Dearie.Diana Krall.Jane Monheit. To that list, we must now add Nancy Harms! Her concept and presentation are refreshing and excitingBravo, Nancy. I am knocked out by your CD." -Peter Michael Bardach; WKGC AM-FM; Panama City, FL
"Sultry, moody, anything but fragile, Ms. Harms creates a presence that is substantial – in control, and in my mind, it's what separates her." -Doug Boynton, girlsingers.org
"(In the Indigo) is as fine a piece of production and as wonderful a piece of singing as I've heard in years and years and years." -Don Shelby, WCCO 830 AM



".she turns that jolly-good jaunt "Bye Bye Blackbird" into a dark, oddly haunting, strangely seductive ballad. The title cut, on the other hand, is a breezy, upbeat affair that practically grins at you with whimsical beauty." -Dwight Hobbes, TC Daily Planet
She shapes words as if they taste delicious. Her swing is innate and roomy. Somehow she combines sultry with cool. Each song is a confidence whispered in your ear, intimate and alluring. The first time you hear this voice, you'll wonder, "Who's that?" The next time, you'll think, "Ahhh…Nancy Harms." That's how exceptional she is, and how memorable.
