Jazz vocalist Leslie Lewis is one of those rare finds. She has a contralto voice, producing a dynamic and lovely sound. She just naturally struts on most of her songs as she sings them. She hails from East Orange, New Jersey and her vocal influences are the inimitable Nancy Wilson and Cleo Laine. She has performed throughout the country including tours as a featured vocalist with the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra, and with members of the Duke Ellington Orchestra on an Ellington Tribute concert as well as performances with Jazz Tap Ensemble. Leslie was featured along with Jack Sheldon on the Tom Kubis Big Band recording “At Last”.

Rose Mallet is a seasoned and talented jazz vocalist, accompanied by professional musicians. Rose has captured the essence of vocal delivery that some say reminds them of the range and texture of Sarah Vaughn: the joy and playfulness of Ella Fitzgerald; the foreboding pain of Billie Holiday; the regal articulation of Lena Horne. Her voice is simply beautiful. Rose is also a master in live performance. She solidly delivers whether a haunting ballad or clowning it up with funny antics on comical songs -- Rose knows how to engage and mezmerize her audience.
