notes
"A voice a bit unlike any other - I dig his influences and welcome more." - Ben Ohmart, MusicDish.com
"An amazing vocal range combined with smart pop/jazz sensibilities." - Jeff Niesel, Scene Magazine
"Klose has a quietly astonishing voice - clear, resonant, clean, able to swing from high to low notes." - Jane Scott, The Cleveland Plain Dealer
About the Artist:
Originally from Germany, Jann was raised in Kenya and South Africa, and then came to the United States as an exchange student, landing in Cleveland, Ohio. After finishing high school and the Civil Service Program in Hamburg, Germany he returned to Cleveland to pursue a career in music. While in Cleveland, Jann recorded two independently released, full length albums (Enough Said and The Strangest Thing), while studying voice with Emmy Award winner David Gooding and performing with the Cleveland Opera Chorus. Jann relocated to New York City in 2000.
Since then he as appeared in theatre (The Who's Tommy, the Jekyll & Hyde US national tour, and the Jesus Christ Superstar European tour), and developed a following for his original music.
Jann and his band have toured Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, New York and Florida, have been seen on WEWS-TV, and heard on the nationally satellited Joey Reynolds show, XM Satellite Radio and Radio Fritz Berlin, to name a few. Jann's new EP BLACK BOX is out now.

Folk Rock at its best
author: KristinaThe songs were all very soulful, and from the heart I liked the fact that there was a variety of instruments, arrangements and textures on the album. My favorite tracks include One little chance I loved that calypso beat, and the castanets; I also enjoyed The strangest thing and Walking the fine line as well. I decided to purchase this album because I had heard Klose's latest release Black Box which I enjoyed and wanted to explore his back catalog as well.

I was sitting in the Las Vetas lounge about a month ago, hanging out with my friends and listening to your performance. I got both of your CDs and have been listening to them non stop ever since. Amazing, I absolutely love it. Thank you for making such great music. I can't wait to see you perform again here. :)
Great Album
author: PatrickThis is such a great album....I would recommend it to anybody who enjoys good music. Jann Klose is an amazing vocalist.
This multifaceted and honest CD delights on many levels
author: CarrieEven after the countless times I've listened to this CD, I'm surprised to find still more about these songs that make me smile. There's something about them that is other (and greater) than the sum of their first impressions. This isn't to depreciate the obvious -- that Jann Klose is a truly gifted tenor, that the songwriting is honest and powerful, that the musicians are talented and energetic. There is, beyond all this, a current of hidden complexities, a sly wink to the listener that begs a closer look. The songs vary from the bright organic hooks of "One Little Chance" to the soulful and sexy "Real Easy to Say" without revealing the mechanism behind it all. It definitely has mass appeal, but doesn't sacrifice what makes it feel so genuine. Jann Klose is a talent to be dealt with. Highly recommended.
