JESSICA MOLASKEY CELEBRATES HER CD AT BIRDLAND NOVEMBER 13th

Jessica Molaskey will perform selections from her new CD, "Sitting in Limbo," at BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080 - http://www.birdlandjazz.com/ ) on Tuesday November 13th at 8:30 pm. She will be joined by her husband, jazz guitarist and vocalist John Pizzarelli, along with Martin Pizzarelli on bass, Larry Fuller on piano and Tony Tedesco on drums.

Jessica will return to Broadway later this season for the Roundabout Theatre Company's revival of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's Sunday In The Park With George. Molaskey and Pizzarelli co-host the nationally syndicated program "Radio Deluxe with John Pizzarelli," which is also available globally as a podcast.

Since her debut recording Pentimento, and continuing with A Good Day, Make Believe and now Sitting in Limbo, Molaskey's musical wanderlust has encouraged her to explore various styles drawing from jazz, Broadway, standards and contemporary material. Here her abundant virtuosity and eclectic musical vocabulary pairs the standards of Vincent Youmans and Harry Warren alongside more contemporary fare from Billy Joel, Joni Mitchell, Sting and Paul Simon, as well as two originals composed with her husband.

Winner of the 2007 Nightlife Award for Outstanding Female Vocalist, Molaskey is a veteran of a dozen Broadway shows, most recently A Man of No Importance at Lincoln Center. Other Broadway credits include Parade, Dream, Tommy, Crazy for You, Les Miserables and City of Angels. She has also appeared on the PS Classics' recordings of Windflowers: The Songs of Jerome Moross, Fine & Dandy and John Bucchino's It's Only Life. Reviewers have compared her singing to Peggy Lee, Chris Connor, k.d. lang, and even Chet Baker. She has sung in concert at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, the Montreal Jazz Festival and more.

Tickets are $30.00 and $40.00 each plus there is a $10 food/drink minimum.
