Iridium Presents Phoebe Legere On John Schaefer's Soundcheck 4/9

The Ooh La La Coq Tail is a new Jazz - Musette CD that includes 5 of Legere's original compositions, 5 French songs and 3 Great American Standards!

It's all acoustic and joyously improvised- played and sung LIVE at the Bennett Studios - with Miss Phoebe Legere leading the band from the piano...

plus: Dae Bennett is singing background vocals with Miss Legere!!

The New York Times called Phoebe: "A charismatic showman who works the audience with the razor edged skill of a veteran comic poking, teasing, and caressing it with clever turns of phrase both musical and verbal...She plays the piano with enormous authority in a style that encompasses Chopin, blues, ragtime, bebop and beyond, and she brings to her vocal delivery a four and a half octave range, and an extraordinary palette of tonal color and meticulous phrasing. "
-New York Times

Legere's concert at IRIDIUM will include jazz interpretations of her signature songs, "Marilyn Monroe and Hot Sicilian Pizza Boy" in addition to original songs from her new CD: "Sex is Love" "Playing Me Like A Piano" "Sometimes it Snows in Las Vegas" and "I Love Myself When I'm with You."

Among New York's wealth of musicians, Phoebe Legere might be the only jazz composer and singer who has run for governor, appeared in Playboy and earned a reputation for sensuous, accordion-fueled cabaret performances.
Phoebe Legere joins us to talk about getting back to basics on her new album. And, she performs live in the studio too.
