Jessica Molaskey - Sitting in Limbo (2024) Hi Res

With her fourth album, Sitting in Limbo, Jessica Molaskey joins the ranks of the great jazz artists. The CD has its origins in Molaskeys sold-out engagement at New Yorks famed Algonquin Hotel in June of 2006, of which The New York Times raved, "She seamlessly carries off a tricky balance between fluid jazz singing and acting. This balancing act goes beyond juggling swing and theatrical savvy. It is embodied in her voice. Just below a surface bubbling with tenderness and cheer flows a current of sadness, which lends her performances a charge of emotional electricity." Surrounded by an extraordinary group of jazz musicians, including Grammy-nominated keyboardists Larry Goldings and Larry Fuller, the phenomenal sax player Harry Allen, and of course her husband, jazz guitarist & vocalist John Pizzarelli, Molaskey applies that "emotional electricity" to covers ranging from Jimmy Cliff to Sting to Billy Joel to Joni Mitchell, plus a few Molaskey-Pizzarelli originals. The results are disarming, captivating, stirring and irresistible.
