QUIET JOY 

She comes at you like a polished Blossom Dearie..........She phrases like Ella..........Her repertoire is classic.......And last, her sidemen choices are such that her project becomes viable, albeit successful by default!!
I speak of one Jennifer Lee songstress extraordinaire. Her sidemen create the neccessary 'platform' as it were to allow Jennifer to ply her wares confidently and assertively. This is a highly imaginative excursion through both the American Songbook and some lesser known compositions which Jennifer has chosen. That said, 'feeling' is her generating force as it relates to her musical touch. So then, tone and lyricism abound in her music and I recommend her highly to my readers.
