O’s Notes: Jeanne has a deep expressive voice that is placed out front on these seven jazzy blue ballads. She sings in a duo with bassist Dave Holland on “Mingus Meditations” and several quartets. Each song has rich interactions with the musicians and tells a heartfelt story. Lee sings from her soul and the music will resonate well with her audiences. There is no electronic trickery or shaping going on here, just Natural Affinities!
