O’s Notes: Midnight Sun is Leslie’s latest release. Again she employs the Gerard Hagen Trio for support. Her alto is rich, lush and very fitting for these nine covers of classic jazz and pop tunes. Hagen’s arrangements are spot-on and guest artists Chuck Manning (sax) and Joey Sellers (tb) add complimentary accompaniment to make this a soothing set.
