I've seen Ms. Cartwright perform on many occasions.  Her performance will blow you away.  If you enjoy live jazz at  it's best this will definitely a show you will enjoy.

Joan is a visionary entrepreneur who is a veteran performer and pioneer in the Women's Jazz Movement. She has organized festivals and educational programs worldwide as well as in her immediate vicinity of South Florida. Her presentations have been well received by her diverse audiences as enjoyable and educational. She has been a cutting edge advocate for Women in Jazz representing the movement in Europe, China and throughout the U.S. She had also built bridges between jazz and hip hop on CD, the internet and in person. I recommend her as a consultant, speaker, performer, historian, and educator of the highest caliber.

Wow! There is so much knowledge being given in this book. Itreminds me of a music textbook. I'm finding it very informative and it's nice to have a lot of the pictures that I did not get from our trips.

The CD was different!Pop Music and a couple of other tunes didn't really seem to fit in with the rest of the CD but, you're nothing, if not different, my lady, ok!

Joan's book is entertaining from beginning to end. I could feel the warmth of her family history and hear her singing in the songs she wrote. I could hear her voice singing "A Woman Knows". Imust say Joan could not have done better, for it's her, all the way. I applaud Joan and wish her luckin allher travels on this earth, for we only pass this way once.

I have known Joan Cartwright for over 25 years. When she told me that her book was finished and was to be published,I could hardly wait to buy it and read it, as I was so proud and excited, too.

In Pursuit of a Melody is an insightful journey through the life and musical experiences of Joan Cartwright. She has skillfully painted the pages with an in-depth and detailed pallet of colorsthat could only be brought forth through her vast experiences. The way in which she has interwoven the titles and lyrics of songs throughout the chapters is just ingenious and, of course, her compositions are diverse and soulful.

Joan Cartwright is a mother, performer, singer, traveler and writer of music and books. She has a most wonderful story to tell and share.

Joan’s book exemplifies the phrase, “Reading can take you on a journey.” You are actually on a whirlwind of traveling and visiting exciting places, engaging in fantastic activities. So many wonderful musicians, singers, talented people have touched Joan’s life .Oh! The pictures tell their own story as they appear full of love of each other and of their professions. The family pictures display the warmth of loving, devoted people.As you read, you want to read faster to get a glimpse of what is next. Wonderful reading and beautiful pictures!
