O’s Notes: Lea’s voice has a large sound and she expresses it well in these groupings from trio to 10-piece band. She is a jazz singer, adept at bending the notes to emphasize the right feelings in the appropriate spots. DeLaria flows with the band, swinging and Playing It Cool. “Welcome To My Party”, an upbeat number, typifies the spirit of this CD.
