Her debut album, Pentimento, put a jazzy spin on Depression-era standards; the Boston Globe proclaimed, "Slide over, Jane Monheit, and make room on the retro-vocals bench; Jessica Molaskey has arrived!" Her next CD, A Good Day, took off from the song stylings of Peggy Lee; Jazz Times cheered, "She fills each breath with a sensuous charm and a torchy hint of k.d. lang twang." But Jessica Molaskey is a Broadway baby at heart, with scores of shows to her credit. Now, for the first time, she turns her attention to a dozen great theatre standards and, with guitarist-husband John Pizzarelli at her side, infuses them with her own jazzy style and sass. It"s 42nd Street meets 52nd Street, as she puts it in her liner notes. You"ve heard these songs before, but never with the twists devised by Jessica and the Pizzarelli clan..Songs include: I Can"t Say No, Guys and Dolls, Make Believe, Step Sister#s Lament, Glad to Be Unhappy, Hey, Look Me Over, So Many People, Cloudburst/ Getting Married Today, Growing Pains, All That Jazz, Right as the Rain, You#re a Builder Upper, Cradle and All, Goodnight My Someone
