Tammy Weis Group/Julian Joseph/BJ Cole + Aaron Diehl Trio

Excellent Canadian singer exploring a fine body of standards and covers from her recent album 'Place to Be' in the illustrious company of acclaimed British pianist Joseph and chill-inducing lapsteel guitar maestro Cole. Raising the bar with stirring folk/alt.contry-informed originals, it's Weis's ability to find hidden depths within the Beatles' 'Help' that impresses most. Talented bebop-influenced pianist Diehl supports.
