On ValLimar and Frank Jansen:

“Each time I have seen ValLimar Jansen perform, I was amazed by the power of her presence. Her full, strong, beautiful gospel voice permeated the huge spaces. She didn't just speak; she proclaimed. Her passionate presence on stage commanded attention. It drew people in to hear the Word of God in a new and deeper way. Honestly, I was a bit intimidated by her.” --- Grapevine

It was such a blessing and honour for me to once again work with ValLimar & Frank Jansen on their newest CD "Annointing". I work with many different artists throughout the year in my studio, but being able to work on these wonderful spirituals and to hear Val glorious voice was a special thrill. The power of the music and the power of the Lord were present at every recording session. And the same power comes through the speakers (or heardphones) when you play this CD. Make sure you go see and hear Val & Frank when they perform near you - it will truly be a blessed event!! --- Ted Pearlman, Producer

On “Stormy Weather: A Celebration of Ethel Waters” :

“...this performance by ValLimar Jansen based on the life of long-forgotten musical theatre legend Ethel Waters IS the show that this ground-breaking performers life deserved. Already a hit in the US and winner of a Kennedy Centre Award this is a performance that I urge you to see whether a fan of musical theatre or not.”--- Fringe Review

“Californian singer/actress ValLimar Jansen portrays Waters - a contemporary of Bessie Smith and Josephine Baker - with admirable stamina in this enjoyable...one-woman biography about a Depression-era star who made significant inroads as a black woman into white-dominated Broadway. Jansen touches on the racial tension of the era, but doesn't labour the political point. Instead, she throws herself into the songs, making effortless work of standards such as St Louis Blues and Stormy Weather and enjoying herself immensely on lesser-known period gems. ...Waters is ...an interesting figure to highlight, and Jansen a thoroughly committed performer.” --- Living Scotsman
