Review

Jessica Molaskey is probably best known for Jason Robert Brown's 1996 revue, Songs for a New World, in which she sang the Weillesque "Surabaya Santa" and the irresistibly snappy "Stars and the Moon." Six years later and stylistic worlds away, Molaskey's solo debut, Pentimento, is in its own way equally irresistible. It's filled with songs from the 1920s and '30s that hoped to brighten the Depression, and she delivers them in a soft, airy voice with a trace of Blossom Dearie-type naiveté. She's accompanied by a wonderful band that includes her husband, John Pizzarelli, and father-in-law, Bucky (both playing guitars and ukuleles), bassist brother-in-law Martin, clarinetist Ken Peplowski, and violinist Johnny Frigo. Molaskey and John Pizzarelli also contribute two originals in the flavor of the era, "I Tried Too Hard for Too Long" and "Sail Away," and John joins her on the vocals for "With Plenty of Money and You/We're in the Money." We could single out favorite moments, such as Irving Berlin's luscious "What'll I Do" or anything with Peplowski, but why commit ourselves when we'll have a different favorite tomorrow? --David Horiuchi Jessica Molaskey was born in the underground of a later time, with ties to the past. She is droll, understated and heartbreaking. Her singing is witty and beautiful, and her album, at least to me, is a singular work of art.--Jonathan Schwartz, National Public Radio.
