HEAR AN INTERVIEW : Diana and Don Thompson with jazz host Larry Green on JAZZ.FM 91.1

Praise for the album, “…yesterday perhaps”

2005 was a great year for “…yesterday perhaps”! The album was named one of the TOP 10 releases of the year by Len Dobbin (Montreal Mirror), Tim Perlich (Toronto’s NOW Magazine) and Dan Sich (!earshot).  It was a highlight in year-end reviews by Ric Taylor (VIEW Magazine) and Leonard Turnevicius (Hamilton Spectator).  Diana was nominated for four Hamilton Music Scene Awards and won for “Best Jazz Recording” and the People’s Choice Award for “Best Live Performance” (thanks to all who voted).

“ A beautifully understated, exquisitely paced standards set from Canada’s next great jazz singer.” Tim Perlich’s Top 10 Discs of 2005, NOW Magazine

“ … this is one of the finest debut CDs I’ve heard in years […]  the choice of the 15 songs […] is impeccable and there’s the added joy of hearing Diana do the little known verses to many of them ... one of the year’s best.” 
Len Dobbin’s Top 10 Discs of 2005,  Montreal Mirror

“This Hamilton jazz vocalist’s stunning debut disc will knock your socks off […] As airy and precious as a bubble on the breeze, Panton’s voice floats enchantingly over subtle but impressive instrumentation by Don Thompson and Reg Schwager.” Chris Watson, VIEW Magazine

“Diana has chosen wonderful material, and delivers the songs with clarity, sincerity and a voice that is unique and yet familiar.  This album is one that you will go to often … it’s that good.”  Larry Green, Afternoon Drive host, JAZZ FM 91.1

“Diana is an amazing young Canadian talent!” Dan Sich, !earshot year-end picks of 2005
