The critically acclaimed actress and vocalist, Jessica Molaskey, recently released her new CD, A Kiss To Build A Dream On, on the Arbors Jazz label. Her previous CD, Sitting In Limbo - which debuted on the Billboard jazz chart in May 2007 - was heralded by the New York Times as "a profound pop-jazz album that connects traditional American pop with the present in a way that has never been done before."
Molaskey has sung in concert from Lincoln Center to Carnegie Hall, and has had the great honor of performing at the Montreal Jazz festival. Jessica has performed regularly at Feinstein's at Loews Regency with husband John Pizzarelli, and in 2005 made her sold-out solo debut at the Oak Room in New York's Algonquin Hotel. In May 2007, Jessica and John debuted at the Café Carlyle for a month-long, sold-out engagement; they returned the following year for another two months.
She is a veteran of a dozen Broadway shows including the recent revival of Stephen Sondheim. and James Lapine's Sunday In The Park With George, which was nominated for nine 2008 Tony Awards. She has also appeared in A Man of No Importance at Lincoln Center, written by Terrance McNally, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, Parade (directed by Hal Prince), Dream, Tommy, Crazy For You, Les Miserables, City of Angels, Chess, Cats and Oklahoma!
She co-hosts the nationally syndicated radio program, Radio Deluxe with John Pizzarelli, on which they have interviewed such stars as Tony Danza, Liza Minnelli and Regis Philbin.
