Acclaimed lyric soprano Patrice Michaels, “a formidable interpretative talent” (The New Yorker), conceived and headlines this inventive, wide-ranging two-disc, 26 song project where classical music and jazz find common ground. A vocalist of uncommon intellect and sophisticated wit, Michaels has assembled a singular collection of songs, including one she composed, which give Ms. Michaels and her stellar instrumental collaborators room to gently improvise and swing the music.
