CD: This Satin Doll

 Satin Doll   
Satin Dolls, you know who you are!
Acid jazz. The original lyrics of this song ooze sexual innuendo and this new version takes that lead a step farther. Listen for the femme fatale, always a true Satin Doll!

 (I'd be surprisingly)Good For You   
Latin jazz. In the true spirit of jazz, taking a Broadway show tune (from Evita) and “swinging” it.

 Baby, It's Cold Outside
  Hi Fi   Lo Fi   
Traditional jazz with role reversals and a contemporary setting for the conversation. Let’s face it roles have changed and this interpretation brings it up to date. Duet with Marc Puricelli.

 I Should've Known Better
  Hi Fi   Lo Fi  
A Love Song, defies classfication. Surprising rendition of a Beatles classic. Sweet and haunting look at one’s self in a new love affair.

 Comes Love 
Hot, bluesy, acid jazz rendition of this classic. A bit cynical throughout and kinda gritty toward the end. All about what a woman can do to you and how nothing can be done…

 Love For Sale
Traditional jazz with new groove. Great piano and flute solos.

 What A Little Moonlight  
 Hi Fi   Lo Fi   
Sweet, sexy version with a nice groove, traditional jazz.

 What do Norah Jones, Diana Krall and Barbara Steel have in common?

Besides sexy, sultry jazz vocals and musical ingenuity...They've held the #1 spot on the mp3 Jazz Charts! Barbara's version of Satin Doll and What A Little Moonlight Can Do climbed to and held the #1 spot and all songs on the CD have held positions in the Top 10

 Note from the artist:

I noticed a lot of people come to the site looking for the lyrics to the songs on the CD. I frequently, and liberally, improvise on the lyrics of these songs because I want to emphasize a unique interpretation of the original material or, I wanted to put a contemporary spin on what I thought was the original intent of the lyrics, sometimes a little bit of both. I hope you enjoy my renditions, musically and vocally they are unique so please take a listen. And, I hope these lyrics help you with your project. Song Lyrics
