When Broadway actress Jessica Molaskey met jazz guitarist/vocalist John
Pizzarelli, an engaging partnership (both musical and marital) was
formed. Molaskey enjoyed the musical family she married into, including
father and guitarist Bucky and brother-in-law/bassist Martin, all of
whom join her on her first CD for a purely jazz label. Rounding out the
band is the talented young violinist Aaron Weinstein, a swinging,
sensitive player in the Stéphane Grappelli tradition whose maturity on
his instrument belies his youth. One of Molaskey's greatest strengths is
her effortless ability to convey the emotion of each song without
overdoing it, while her vocals are always right on the money. She also
chose quite a few pieces that have long fallen into obscurity, including
the upbeat "Happy Habit," the brightly swinging "Hello Sunshine Hello"
(which interpolates "You Are My Sunshine" and utilizes multi-tracked
vocals), and "Breezin' Along with the Breeze." John joins her for an
intimate vocal duet of "Tea for Two" that includes the oft-omitted
verse, along with their warm original "Hiding in Plain Sight," the
latter adding guest Larry Fuller on piano. She also chose a pair of
Stephen Sondheim songs, offering a playful rendition of "Everybody Loves
Louis" (from Sunday in the Park with George and the sentimental ballad
"Isn't He Something" (from Bounce. Jessica Molaskey will warm an
audience of any size with this superb release. Ken Dryden
