“Sinatra,
Presley, Jagger, Popeye and now Duffo” – Andy Warhol 1980
“Outstanding arrangements, integrating the orchestral instruments in ways
that are much more sophisticated than the usual ploy. Over it all climbed Duff’s
big booming voice – truffle-rich, capable of arching over 16 surging instruments.
The packed audience was enraptured” – John Shand, Sydney
Morning Herald
“Jeff Duff has continued to push the boundaries of conformatism, and mix genres” – Nine To Five
“If ever there was a performer in this crazy industry who was innocence and knowing all in one, a perpetual outsider and a Peter Pan, it’s Jeff Duff. The contrast between that innocence and that booming, masculine baritone only makes his presence on stage the more striking, and that’s why angel wings that have adorned a lot of his publicity photos make a lot of sense too. A fallen angel perhaps and perhaps not. Maybe he’s a creation of Wim Wenders circa Wings of Desire and doesn’t it” – Michael Smith, Drum Media
“Jeff Duff’s insanely beautiful talent and extraordinary skills as a composer/performer incorporate lyrical wit and magnificent vocals into a performance which is often and moving as it is entertaining” – Cal Clugston, Beat Magazine
“Unreservedly recommended as perhaps the best night’s musical entertainment we’ve ever presented” – The Basement management, Sydney’s premier music venue
“It’s Bowie meets Reed meets Orbison meets Grand Opera” – Beat Magazine
“I don’t think it’s overstating the case to say that, had Jeff Duff hailed from a country in the top half of the world, he could now be as acknowledged and acclaimed as David Bowie or Lou Reed or Iggy Pop” – Glenn A. Baker, rock historian
“Jeff Duff is one of the most innovative and unique performers in this country” – Drum Media
“Jeff Duff is the blackest sounding white singer I have ever heard” – Alphonso Johnson, legendary bassplayer (Weather Report)
