“…reminding us of the magic that can happen when the right singer, the right song and the right accompaniment fall into place. Blessed with a luminous, flutelike soprano, Lyons delivers a collection particularly well-suited to her bright tone and improvisational flair.” - The Washington Post
“…sparkling, scintillating jazz singing… No matter what she's performing, be prepared to hear it differently than it's usually played.” - All Music Guide

Possessing a beautiful voice, a solid sense of swing, and a history wrapped within the Great American Songbook, Lisanne Lyons delves into arrangements she enlisted Mike Lewis to create for a jazz orchestra comprised of some of Miami’s and New York’s finest. From the hard-driving “The Song is You,” to the lush “This is Always,” Lyons displays a savvy musicianship earned through her vast experiences, including years traveling the world with the NORAD Command Band, national touring with City of Angels, playing the clubs of New York City, and then her work in education, with former students among the top vocalists of today. With her long-time pianist John Toomey at her side, Lyons pays homage to some of the great vocal interpreters of song by putting her own stamp on these reimagined stories of love and life.
