  • Description

    19 track compilation from the late American vocalist Barbara Lea, who died in 2011, featuring an array of top class mainstream jazz musicians, including pianist Keith Ingham, guitarist Howard Alden and trumpeter Dick Sudhalter.

    Barbara Lea's taste and integrity and uncompromising standards, along with her devotion to lyrics and her deep musicality, have made her one of the most widely respected and admired interpreters of the classic American popular song. The great singer-songwriter Johnny Mercer once said "One of the joys of writing songs is that one might be lucky enough to have them sung by someone with the wonderful taste and ability of Barbara Lea"



    Personnel: Barbara Lea (vocals), Keith Ingham, Ben Aronov, Bob Dorough (piano), Dick Sudhalter (trumpet), Dan Levinson (clarinet), Tom Artin (trombone), Howard Alden, James Chirillo (guitar), Greg Cohen, Murray Wall, Jim Ferguson (bass), Steve Little, Joe Coruzzo (drums)
