Outstanding vocal range and control…Delmar swings down to her fingertips.

…makes the art of swinging a tune seem effortless…
(her) glowing, cello-like phrases…are as seductive as ever.

Elaine Delmar truly defines the word class...

Among the multitude of good jazz singers in Britain today, there is not one who can surpass Elaine Delmar.
Dave Gelly, The Observer
A remarkable talent, a deliciously mellow jazz sound that shimmers with clarity and resonance...Delmar’s vocals capture the heart and soul of the lyric.
Paul Vale, The Stage
Her style is a mixture of Broadway musical punch and jazz-inflected subtlety. She has the belting defiance of a torch singer at times and the knowing raised eyebrow rasp of a blues artist, but also a hushed, confiding intimacy where it is appropriate, it is a blend that invites the widest possible audience.
John Fordham, The Guardian
