  • 3.SWINGALICIOUS
    Most of Phoebe Legere's most beloved Swingalcious Tunes are now available at ITUNES for the FIRST TIME EVER! on the Ooh La La Coq Tail Look for Good Stiff Cock Tail, Crazy White Trash and Hot Sicilian Pizza Boy with Legere playing the piano, bouncing around, and singing like crazy hitting everything from a High C's to Low F's backed up by Dem' Brooklyn Bums featuring Broccoli Rabe on bass.

"Like Marylou Williams, she can maintain a rollicking left hand that segues easily from stride to boogie - woogie while tickling the piano's upper register into sublime submission. Similarities to Jerry Lee Lewis are probably not impertinent either..." New York TImes
Sitting down at the grand piano Legere launched into a hard driving incredible boogie woogie...Phoebe Legere is a talent to be reckoned with...a sharp wit permeates her lyrics...Vocally Legere possess a powerful, precise 4 octave voice that is equally at home in the operatic style as it is singing lowdown blues...In two hours Phoebe Legere not only won a raft of new fans in Saratoga, she also demonstrated that talent, intelligence and sex appeal need not be mutually exclusive. Beyond the obvious attributes, it's Legere's warmth and exuberance that will prompt us to watch for her return." Linda Ellingsworth, Saratoga Chronicle

"Phoebe Legere is one of the most, inspired and talented creative-supernovas on the planet...One of those rare luminous souls... beautiful, wickedly funny, anointed with wisdom, and her music possesses Native American mystical and healing qualities. like Billie Holiday or Jimi Hendrix or Miles Davis or Sun Ra..." Dimitri Monroe, Hits Magazine

  • "Phoebe Legere's latest recording is an incisive critique of the role of contemporary culture in America in the form of a post modern, urban opera. A dazzling, dizzying sound collage of sampled soundtracks, spoken word, composed melodies, sound effects, raps, electrobeats, and vocal and keyboard improvisations, it's a shimmering soundscape of a night spent downtown with Legere as tour guide...A tribute as much to the composer/vocalist/keyboardist's virtuosic talent as to her keen wit and intelligence, "Blue Curtain" surprises, shocks and entertains at every jagged turn. Simply put, it's as important a piece of music as you're likely to hear all year, or any year- Seth Rogovoy, The Berkshire Eagle
