Description
With her fourth album, Sitting in Limbo, Jessica Molaskey joins the ranks of the great jazz artists. The CD has its origins in Molaskey's sold-out engagement at New York's famed Algonquin Hotel in June of 2006, of which The New York Times raved, "She seamlessly carries off a tricky balance between fluid jazz singing and acting. This balancing act goes beyond juggling swing and theatrical savvy. It is embodied in her voice. Just below a surface bubbling with tenderness and cheer flows a current of sadness, which lends her performances a charge of emotional electricity." Surrounded by an extraordinary group of jazz musicians, including Grammy-nominated keyboardists Larry Goldings and Larry Fuller, the phenomenal sax player Harry Allen, and of course her husband, jazz guitarist & vocalist John Pizzarelli, Molaskey applies that "emotional electricity" to covers ranging from Jimmy Cliff to Sting to Billy Joel to Joni Mitchell, plus a few Molaskey-Pizzarelli originals. The results are disarming, captivating, stirring and irresistible.Customer Reviews:
This album is definitely her route to a wider success........2007-05-14
Her new album is the first, fully polished Jessica Molaskey album.
A mix of jazz standards, reinterpreted plus some new stuff.
She has rapidly become one of the most talked about voices on the jazz circuit, thanks to her smooth, sultry vocal style, and her ability to really inhabit the songs that she sings.
This CD is an instant smash among the jazz fraternity, and for sure will catapult Jessica into the limelight she seemed born to live and work with.
Along with her hubby, acclaimed guitarist and vocalist John Pizzarelli, there are some other great jazz stars like sax master Harry Allen to help Jessica to take off.
Enjoy.

Amazon.com essential recording
The Throwing Muses might've sounded at their inception like a fidgety, angle-heavy postpunk dream (cofounders Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donelly were mere teenagers!); as a trio in 1996 they sound particularly fierce. With Donelly long gone from the band, the former quartet has an oddly fatter sound, maybe thanks to their major-label experience in big-sounding studios with big-minded production. But with Limbo, Hersh, bassist Bernard Georges, and drummer David Narcizo not only founded their own label, Throwing Music, they settled into existence as a rock band that sounds as if they're on the verge of a spastic explosion. Musically, the three make grandly tense music, with Hersh alternating windy sing-song vocals and a forking, brusque delivery that reaches near-shouting levels in swift bursts. The Muses haven't sounded as frontally propelled in some time, here dashing into the loud bash of a song's chorus and there sticking to more regularly timed tempos and rhythms. There's little musical indication here that the band was on the verge of breakup, and Hersh's solo career seems a continuation of any of several Muses threads followed on Limbo (or on The Real Ramona or Hunkpapa, for that matter). --Andrew BartlettCustomer Reviews:
punch-drunk love.......2007-01-08
A disappointment except for a single song (but what a song!).......2006-10-11
Somewhere before the recording of this album, Kristin Hersh's voice lost her charm. Her unpolished delivery had always lent authenticity to the savageness of her lyrics, but here she seems to have lost any of that ferocity. Instead, she sounds unmotivated and occasionally we get really weird, almost muppet-like intonations. That's a major blow against the album. Another flaw is the unimpressive songwriting, with the opening "Buzz" lacking direction and "Ruthie's Knocking" seeming like an attempt to write another "Bright Yellow Gun". And finally, the production is overly balanced towards the guitars. David Narcizo is one of the finest drummers in the history of rock, but here the power of his beats (which one can tell is buried there) is drowned out by unremarkable guitar fuzziness. About the only entirely satisfying movement here is "Shark", apparently an expression of rage at having to put up with an alcoholic. Possessing a fine structure and performed with awesome tightness, it ranks among the Muses finest songs. Is it worth it to buy an album just for a single song? "Shark" suggests that might be the case.
If you're new to Throwing Muses, I can't recommend enough their first four albums: the self-titled debut (1986), HOUSE TORNADO (1988), HUNKPAPA (1990), and THE REAL RAMONA (1991). Each is not entirely perfect, but solid enough, and put together they reveal a band of immense capability. The band lost its way with LIMBO, explore it after you're sure that you're a committed Muses fan.
Great CD from a great band.......2005-09-11
Kristen Hersh should be a huge star . . ........2004-10-26
The songs largely concern characters who are living a certain rough & tumble lifestyle - the "limbo" of the title - which can easily be interpreted as a druggie's way of life. Some characters are desperate, but many are recklessly carefree. There are other tunes dealing with relationships and lovers that are stunning and gorgeous.
I can see how some fans may prefer the Muses of old that they know and love, but I think their albums have generally gotten better and better over time (which says a lot since they were very good when they first started in their early teens). I love that early stuff, but later albums like RED HEAVEN rock harder and naturally have more confidence and maturity. LIMBO has got to be one of their best and may even be their masterpiece.
Weak for their standards.......2004-10-02
Limbo now , is actually album number eight for the Boston band . Kristin Hersh had nothing to prove to nobody . Childhood friend David Narcizo was still on the drums sit . Ex guitarist Tanya Donelly was preparing for the release of her first solo album . Bassists Leslie Langston and Fred Abong had deceided to continue their lives outside the music business long time ago . Bernand Georges was now playing the four-chord instrument . In past efforts the Muses combined that sense of madness that had always been their trademark with power ( " University " ) , sorrow ( " Hunkpapa " ) and ethereal nature ( " The Real Ramona " ) . On Limbo they sound plain schizophrenic .
Many fans who adore them will simply be satisfied by watching Hersh , a strangely happy woman perfoming a grey, unhappy rock song in the video clip of " Ruthie's Knocking " . " Tango " ' s lyrical agenda ( " thank you for chaining me into bed / that was sweet " ) and cold , impersonal vocals are indicative of the record's mood . Not that the energy is not once again here and there are many good ideas to notice ( you would never have imagined how well a cello could fit in a rock tune like " Buzz " ) . You can tell that the songwritting is strong and that there's something special in there but often , it's simply unpleasant listening .
In conlusion , " Limbo " suffers from the same things which made Belly's " King " so problematic in the first place : it deserves respect for sounding messy by choice and carries the power of the mysterious personallity behind it but lacks the overall power to make it matter outside the artist's fanbase .

Little bit of Jazz, Country, Rock, Pop, and a whole lot of Soul.......2005-09-17
So Stax was in "limbo", and the MGs saw the company through. The carribean flavored title track (later famously used as the theme for Cricket on the BBC) was among the first hits (along with Johnnie Taylor's "Who's Makin' Love") that Stax scored.
The MGs' albums at this point had been getting better and better peaking with 1967's terrific Hip Hug-Her. This has their usual mix of inspired covers and cutting edge originals.
One of their most well known and highest charting records was their epic rendition of Dominic Frontiere's "Hang 'em High" from the Clint Eastwood film. There's also the infectious "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy", a funkdified reworking of "Eleanor Rigby", and an absolutely superb Jazz piano showcase for Booker T. Jones with the standard "Willow Weep For Me".
Guitarist Steve Cropper's and especially drummer Al Jackson, Jr.'s work here once again affirms their superiority over ordinary humans. Jackson really stands out on Aretha Franklin's "(Sweet, Sweet Baby) Since You've Been Gone" and both are on fire on the smokin' original "Heads or Tails" and the Jones and William Bell written Albert King classic "Born Under a Bad Sign" which also features great B-3 organ bursts from Booker. Their versions of the Franklin and King songs makes the album worth searching out, as the other tracks already mentioned (and the great original "Over Easy", the B side to "Hang 'em High") all appear on the 1997 box set Time Is Tight.
They just don't make 'em like this anymore. This is one of the finest instrumental sets ever released and one of the most essential in the discography of Booker and his Memphis Group.
Their second best album!.......2000-04-02
