Club44 Records has announced the release of Love Notes, the new album from Linda Lavin - the Tony Award and Golden Globe winning and Emmy Award nominated stage and screen legend - on Friday, March 27. Love Notes, an elegant and swinging mix of timeless standards, jazz classics and gems of the pop/rock era, is currently available for pre-order. Customers who pre-order the digital album will immediately receive a download of the first single, "Stars Would Fall," the sophisticated new song by Joel Lindsey and Wayne Haun. The album features liner notes by her longtime collaborators and friends Billy Stritch and Jim Caruso. Love Notes is produced by Billy Stritch, with Wayne Haun serving as executive producer. Love Notes will be available from iTunes, Amazon, in stores and all streaming platforms.
Linda will co-star in The Atlantic Theater Company's new Off-Broadway musical The Bedwetter - written by multi-award-winners Sarah Silverman, Adam Schlesinger, and Joshua Harmon - from April 25 to June 14.
Love Notes highlights Lavin's burnished vocals, which bring out new and unexpected shades from classic standards by Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, Richard Rodgers, Vernon Duke, with surprises thrown in by seminal pop outfits Steely Dan and The Eagles. The album features Billy Stritch on piano and guest vocals, Aaron Weinstein on violin and mandolin, Tom Hubbard on bass, Jeff Barone on guitar, and Daniel Glass on drums.
