Ms. Abrams was born in Bronx, New York, with a father and two uncles in piano tuning and a love for the Great American Songbook and her uncle Victor Abrams wrote songs recorded by
Dinah Washington,
Dean Martin, Sarah Vaughn, and Nat King Cole. Jan remembers everyone coming for Sunday supper and to sing standards and Broadway show tunes to the wee hours. After graduation she moved to Manhattan and discovered and loved of the intimacy of cabaret performance and began singing regularly at the West Village's Scene One and Manhattan's Duplex, Grand Finale, Freddy's, Panache, Don't Tell Mama, and Eighty-Eight's. When Jan moved to Los Angeles she continued with shows at The Cinegrill, Masquer's, Catalina, and The Gardenia, as well as two previous shows at Joslyn Center and one at Annenberg Theatre.

Christopher Marlowe, who is also originally from NYC, and is noted for his years working with the late, great,
Nancy LaMott.
