North Central College presents jazz faculty artist Janice Borla. Described as a "one-woman jazz tornado," Borla is "among the best, boldest and most innovative vocalists around" by Jazz Times Magazine and "a stunning singer with a lustrous voice and the technique, imagination and daring of the best improvising instrumentalists" by jazz critic Bob Protzman. Her CD "Promises to Burn" has been named one of the "Best CDs of 2014" by DownBeat Magazine. BlogCritics writer Jack Goodstein says, "her voice is an instrument to be reckoned with-she is a force of nature."
