Album Notes

A Colorado native, Jan Garrett is first and foremost a jazz singer.....velvet voice, educated musical ear, improvisational spirit.

A thoughtful original songwriter, her lyrics are poetic and redemptive. She has recorded and toured with John Denver, Steve Martin, and the Dirt Band. She has appeared on "The Tonight Show" and is listed in the Rolling Stone "Who's Who in Rock & Roll." She is also a teacher and professional speaker, giving presentations and workshops on "Authentic Voice," "Playing It By Ear," and "The Wild Woman Archetype."

"Gypsy Midwife, Songs for Soul Retrieval" contains elegantly crafted original songs born out of raw and personal encounters with the achingly ordinary and beautiful stuff of Jan's own life.

Music with a Celtic flavor, underlying jazz sensibility, haunting string arrangements and compelling vocals. A journey into the heart and soul that will inspire listeners to embody their own vision and passion.
