Her debut album, Pentimento, put a jazzy spin on Depression-era standards; her next CD, A Good Day, took off from the song stylings of Peggy Lee. But Jessica Molaskey is a Broadway baby at heart, with scores of shows to her credit. Now, for the first time, she turns her attention to a dozen great theatre standards and, with guitarist-husband John Pizzarelli at her side, infuses them with her own jazzy style and sass. It’s 42nd Street meets 52nd Street, as she puts it in her liner notes. You’ve heard these songs before, but never with the twists devised by Jessica and the Pizzarelli clan.
