About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Plain and simple, Lea Delaria is here to put the sass back in standards. No gentile readings or blemish free interpretations for a gutsy singer who clearly loves the great old songs but isn’t afraid to razz them up. It’s all fair game for this expressive go-getter, be it Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, or any other canonical popular composer. And on this razor-sharp live recording Delaria is in her true element, feeding off energy and giving back twofold to an in-sync audience who appreciate that they’re not being handed the same old tired line from this week’s new Diana Krall. It doesn’t hurt that Delaria is able to back up her go-get-‘em attitude with first-rate vocal chops. And a sterling support team, including saxophonist Seamus Blake and the superb pianist Gil Goldstein, only notches things up a few more levels. Given Delaria’s vital treatments, such chestnuts as “You Don’t Know what Love Is” and "Love for Sale” become fresh again, while a ringer like ““Puff” from the Michael John LaChiusa musical Little Fish lays claim to an elevated status of its own. What this live document unquestionably reveals is that Delaria’s tart and tangy stage persona will never obscure her died-in-the-wool vocal artistry. Barnes & Noble
