"When Dawn Lambeth sings, it's like coming in from the cold to a bright warm room full of friends. Her gentle expressiveness makes familiar songs gleam like old silver, freshly polished. Her singing is understated but tender, playful: a rare gift. And the band matches her light-hearted eloquence at every turn." - Michael Steinman, Jazz Lives

Dawn Lambeth has a special place in the hearts of people who love memorable songs treated with light-hearted respect. She's a subtle jazz improviser whose first goal is to let the song tell its tale.

Her new CD is in the great tradition of Billie Holiday, Ethel Waters, Fats Waller, and Louis Armstrong, but it's never a museum tour. Her supple warm voice allows us to hear these splendid but lesser-known songs as never before. With a playful glint in her eye, she lets us in on the joke of witty lyrics, she rides the exuberance of swinging melodies, and revels in the great passions of fervent love songs. The songs may have generations of famous performances attached to them, but they sound fresh, stories of things that happened just a few hours ago, stories we need to hear.

Dawn is accompanied by a remarkable small band: musicians steeped in the great traditions but honoring their own lively voices. Each track feels like an inspired conversation we're privileged to eavesdrop on.

I GET IDEAS is completely restorative music: aware of the past but inventive, stylish, and sprightly. - Michael Steinman, Jazz Lives
