“Donahue is a classic. Blessed with looks and an undeniably lovely voice. Lots of singers are striving to be the next Mel Torme’. This guy’s a contender.”
— Jonathan Takiff, Philadelphia Daily News
“Armed with a smoothly authoritative tenor that suggests Michael Feinstein crossed with Mel Torme’, and the eclectically sophisticated taste of Mark Murphy, Jack Donahue is a guy worth keeping an eye on.”
— Christopher Loudon, Jazz Times
“Possessed of a beautiful voice, taste beyond his years, and a wide-ranging intelligence, the handsome New Yorker shows that this sophisticated art form is not just alive and well but thriving.”
— Andrew Patner, Chicago Sun-Times
