Dawn Lambeth - Let's Get Lost (2007)

With her new CD, "Let's Get Lost", the young vocalist Dawn Lambeth showcases her love for and dedication to the wonderful popular songs of the 1930&'s and 40's. Dawn and her band play elegant, classic-styled swing music with creativity and vitality. Backed by an all-star group featuring the Teddy Wilson-inspired piano of Chris Dawson and master guitarist John Reynolds, Dawn's silky, pure voice brings to mind chanteuses of the past such as Connie Boswell, Mildred Bailey and Jo Stafford. Dawn specializes in early jazz and swing, the joyous and romantic melodies of the twenties and thirties. She's a classic jazz vocalist in every sense of the word, bringing out the beauty of timeless melodies and the wit of great lyrics. Dawn is fortunate to have some of the best on the West Coast accompanying her. In addition to Dawson's piano and Reynolds' guitar, Dawn's recording features the sophisticated clarinet of Bob Reitmeier, the swinging Kansas City saxophone of John "Butch" Smith, and the searing swing trumpet of Marc Caparone. They're all supported by the solid bass and guitar of Clint Baker and Jeff Hamilton, one of the finest swing drummers working today.
