Jan. 21: Peggy Lee: Is That All There Is?

Peggy Lee cast a spell when she sang.

These days, Nicolas King is king of swing

His pitch is perfect and his stage presence is easy breezy.

She approaches a song with gusto and defiantly swings into the mood with a grace and a style that is too rare in today’s crazed music world.

Velvet voice and accompaniment truly floated on air, spun like perfect silk. Is “Heavenly” too hyperbolic?

Connoisseurs of the best in American popular music already know that the singer to follow is Joyce Breach, a songbird from Pittsburgh.

Joyce Breach, on stage in cabaret, offers a master class in performing a ballad.
