Musical Monday: Jessica Molaskey

There is yet another member of the Pizzarelli family I'd like you to meet:  Jessica Molaskey, wife of John Pizzarelli.

Jessica has recorded 5 albums of show tunes, jazz classics, cabaret, and American pop standards, with a few original compositions thrown in.  Her voice is smooth, feminine and full of good cheer, and she knows how to choose the right songs for her voice. 

My 2 favorite albums happen to be her first two:

Pentimento - lots of fabulous tunes from the roaring 20's


It's a Good Day - tunes from Benny Goodman, Peggy Lee and Gershwin, among others.  Another collection of happy songs.


The album links take you to iTunes where you can give her a listen.  LOVE this music!  In the meantime, here is a song from Pentimento...the ONLY one I could find on YouTube!
