Rick Jensen
Spring
Harvest
Move over, Michael Feinstein, there's a new
genius in the room. Rick Jensen has been carting off all the New
York cabaret awards of late, and this debut album shows why. Cole
Porter, Peter Allen, Tom Lehrer, and Nancy Lamott must be beaming
down on their collective progeny. From deeply moving ballads like
"The Heart Knows" to the S/M humor of "My Baby and Me," Jensen makes
adult, sophisticated, music that could make seltzer taste like champagne.
A special treat: a duet with the much-missed Ms. LaMott.
