Pieces Of Treasure [CD]

Rickie Lee Jones' latest album "Pieces Of Treasure" (BMG Modern) is a reunion with her lifelong friend, legendary producer Russ Titelman, who co-produced Jones' star albums, her 1980 debut Rickie Lee Jones and the groundbreaking Pirates.

Throughout her career, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter has interpreted an extraordinarily wide range of songs, often on the same album (David Bowie publicly praised her interpretation of "Rebel Rebel").

She has recorded acclaimed jazz-related albums, including "Girl At Her Volcano" and "Pop Pop", but until now she had never dedicated an entire album to the American Songbook.

"Pieces Of Treasure" - the title is a nod to Pirates - was recorded over five days at Sear Sound in New York City and accompanied by a quartet consisting of Rob Mounsey on piano, guitarist Russell Malone, bassist David Wong and drummer Mark McLean. It is an elegant, simple and emotive work, drawn from Jones' own life and experiences.
