O’s Notes: Marilyn Kleinberg leads a quintet through a collection of tailored standards. Among the high points are “Invitation”, “Alfie”, “Never Let Me Go”, and “Visions”. Featured guest artist, chromatic harmonica player Will Galison adds a distinctive touch to a rich set. The rest of the band is John DiMartino (p), Noriko Ueda (b), and Victor Lewis (d), all first-class artists. It’s the combination of passionate vocals, and stellar instrumentation that makes Let Your Heart Lead The Way work.
