Joan Viskant Joan Viskant "has a voice that sounds like she hasn't quite gotten out of bed yet.....". She was born in Chicago and lived in Paris before settling in London. She received rave reviews for her debut album 'I Hear Music', released on the '33' label, and was described by Woolf Phillips - Frank Sinatra's MD - as 'the best female singer I have heard in 30 years'. Her second big band album 'Sure Thing' was the Observer album of the week, and Michael Parkinson's album of the week. Her third album 'Over Here, Over There' has had frequent airplay since its release, and she has now released her latest album, 'Madeleine Rooms'. In 2008, Joan formed a close harmony group, The Bluebirds (with David Blenkhorn and Enrico Tomasso), which went down a storm. Joan is one of the rare breed of singers - a musician's musician.
