About the Album: Club44 Records has announced the release of Loves 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. Loves Notes is produced by Billy Stritch, with Wayne Haun serving as executive producer. Loves 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.
Loves 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.
The New York Times has raved about Lavin’s “musical smarts, sense of humor and upbeat philosophy of living in the moment.” Her singing was praised by Jazz Times for its “sass and panache.” According to Time Out New York, “Singer-actor extraordinaire Linda Lavin has few peers as a performer.”
LINDA LAVIN won a Tony Award, as well as a Drama Desk, Outer Critics and Helen Hayes Award for her performance in Broadway Bound in 1987. She is a six-time Tony Award-nominee for her roles in The Last of the Red Hot Lovers, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife, Collected Stories, and The Lyons. In 2017, Linda was seen in Candide, directed by Hal Prince, and received stellar reviews. Inducted into the Theatre Hall of Fame in 2011, other theatre credits include The New Century (Drama Desk Award), Other Desert Cities (LCT), and Too Much Sun (Vineyard Theatre).
She is a two-time Golden Globe-winner and Emmy nominee for her role as Alice on the nine-year hit TV series “Alice” on CBS, and she co-starred with Sean Hayes in the NBC Series “Sean Saves the World.” Linda recently guest starred on “Mom,” “The Good Wife,” and “Madam Secretary.” She featured as a series regular on the CBS sitcom “9JKL” opposite Mark Feurstein and Elliot Gould, and was most recently seen on the series “Brockmire” and “The Santa Clarita Diet.” Her recent feature films include A Short History of Decay, Manhattan Nocturne with Adrien Brody, How to Be a Latin Lover opposite Rob Lowe and Eugenio Derbez, Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase, and the upcoming Naked Singularity with John Boyega and Bill Skarsgaard. She also appeared with Robert De Niro in Nancy Meyer's The Intern.
Linda was born in Portland, Maine and is a graduate of the College of William & Mary, which recently conferred on her an honorary doctor of arts degree where she endows a theater program. She performs her concert act in clubs, theatres and concert halls with her band and full orchestra and music director Billy Stritch. Possibilities, their debut album of jazz standards and show tunes, was released in 2011.
