Directed by Scott Barnes,
LET'S MISBEHAVE celebrates Debbie Lesser's new CD, which features
the talents of top-notch musicians, who will be joining Debbie Lesser
for this show. The band features David Brunetti on piano, Steve LaSpina
on bass, Bob Einfrank on guitar and Steve Bartosik on drums.
Ms. Lesser is a veritable
fireball on stage, swinging into songs from her new CD which certainly
suggest misbehavior: "Let's Misbehave" paired with "Let's Do It,"
"Keepin' Out Of Mischief," "Rough and Ready Man," and "Hallelujah,
I Just Love You So," paired with "All Right, Okay, You Win."
Debbie grew up in Cleveland,
Ohio, listening to 1930s & 40s swing and jazz, including George Shearing,
Ramsey Lewis, Errol Garner and Tony Bennett. Her singing is influenced
by Cleo Laine, Sarah Vaughan, Rosemary Clooney and Joe Williams.
Her first musical director
in New York was Bill Schneider, a pianist for Bette Midler, who he
still plays for. Together Debbie Lesser and Bill Schneider played
such New York bastions as The Duplex, Ted Hook's, and Upstairs at
the Downstairs. Lesser segued for a while from singing standards to
rock music in the late 80's and early 90's, doing club dates with
a band called Bigtown, then a staple at The China Club. Ms. Lesser
then took a hiatus, after which she needed a new musical director.
Referred to David Brunetti, the two connected and have worked together
for six years. Ms. Lesser has performed at Judy's Chelsea during the
past three seasons.
Selections from LET'S
MISBEHAVE will be featured in the show, including "Why Try To Change
Me Now," "Summertime," paired with "Lazy Afternoon," "If I Were A
Bell," "Music" and "There's A Place Called Home."
LET'S MISBEHAVE, on LML
Music (http://www.lmlmusic.com/),
distributed nationally and internationally, will be available in November,
at outlets including Tower Records, HMV, and Amazon.com.
