"Make room on the retro-jazz-vocals bench. Jessica Molaskey has arrived."
-- The Boston Globe Her
debut album, Pentimento, put a jazzy new twist on popular songs of the
'20s and '30s. Now Jessica Molaskey takes what one critic called her "bravura,
pathos and sass" - plus those same extraordinary musicians (including guitarist-husband
John Pizzarelli) - and sashays into the 1950's. An album born, as Molaskey puts
it, "out of a small stack of records neatly arranged beside the family hi-fi
when I was growing up," and inspired by the song stylings of Peggy Lee and
her own guitarist-husband Dave Barbour, "A Good Day" brings spirit and
swing to jazz standards, show tunes and Molaskey-Pizzarelli originals.
