On "Summertime Lullaby," the latest release from versatile pianist/vocalist/composer Peggy Duquesnel, the Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter takes her listeners on a musical journey through the world of romance. Subtitled "Jazz Standards and Love Songs," the recording combines Ms. Duquesnel's own compositions, including the lovely title track, with popular classics from the Great American Songbook. Inspired by the love in her own life, the disc is dedicated by the singer to her husband and features a selection of some of the couple's favorite songs, as well as original works inspired by their shared times.
Her piano shines especially brightly on the instrumental selections with a ringing tone and deliberate two-handed style that nods to the early stride masters.
