THE LIVE SMOKE SESSIONS
 |
After two innovative CDs reinventing Broadway tunes (2000's Play It Cool) and rock and punk songs (2005's Double Standards), Lea turns her considerable talents to her first recording focused on timeless pop standards. But these classic songs like "Down With Love," "Night And Day," "Love Me Or Leave Me" and "Come Rain Or Come Shine" have never sounded so fresh and alive. "I styled this CD on the old school live recordings," Lea comments. "It is my hope that this CD will take you back to 1948 and the Village Vanguard. So please let me invite you to mix a cocktail and enjoy a smoke while you sit back and soak up the swing."

A brilliant selection of
rock classics by the likes of Neil Young, Green Day, and even Jane's
Addiction, given the jazz treatment. Backed by saxophonist Seamus
Blake, pianist Gil Goldstein, bassist Christian McBride and drummer

and the Doors' 'People Are Strange'. |
