Lee Lessack  premieres his new concert, "Too Marvelous For Words: The Songs of Johnny Mercer"

 

 

"Too Marvelous For Words - The Songs of Johnny Mercer"

 

 

Lee's latest release (www.LMLMusic.com) is a perfect blend of both the popular Mercer standards and some "unsung Mercer"- pieces like Pineapple Pete and The Bathtub Ran Over Again... that Lee is reintroducing to today's audiences.

John Boswell's arrangements and expert accompaniment make this  divine  CD a requirement for the Mercer Aficionado. Recorded live at the Cinegrill in Hollywood, with outstanding sound and mixing,--- this a must buy CD for Holiday 2000 giving.

Sink into your most comfortable chair, enjoy your favorite beverage, and turn on your best audio system, Relax for an hour of Lee and Johnny...like you have never heard it. Be there live at the Cinegrill and enjoy, relax!
