"Goodman may have showed this former Goodman Orcehstra canarie how to swing, but Miss Lea seems to be heavily influenced by Lee Wiley and Peggy Lee, this is a very nice session by Lea and it comes highly recomended."
Barbara Lea is in the same class as chris Connor...

"Barbara Lea, who was heavily influenced by both Lee Wiley and Peggy Lee has a style all her own, she belongs in the class of the cool school of jazz singers like Chris Connor and Annie Ross. This Original Jazz Classics re-issue of this late 50's session "Lea In Love" is fine, though not as graet as her self titled classic "Barbara Lea" also on Original Jazz Classics."
