On Summertime Lullaby, the latest release
from versatile pianist/vocalist/composer Peggy
Duquesnel, the Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter
takes her listeners on a musical journey through the
world of romance. Subtitled Jazz Standards and Love
Songs, the recording combines Ms. Duquesnel’s own
wonderful compositions, including the lovely title
track, with popular classics from the Great American
Songbook. Inspired by the love in her own life, the disc
is dedicated by the singer to her husband and features
a selection of some of the couple’s favorite songs, as
well as original works inspired by their shared times.
Her piano shines especially brightly
on the instrumental selections with a ringing tone and deliberate two-handed
style that nods to the early stride masters.
“Peggy’s vocals are polished and
smooth, her voice as much an
instrument as any in the orchestra.”
–Robert A.Lindquist,
Singer Magazine
“…Collaborating with keyboardist/
composer Peggy Duquesnel is a
stroke of radio-ready genius!”
–Jonathan Wildran,
Jazz Is
