Linda was always enjoyable, always personable, and always a solid musician!

Linda Lee takes her listeners on a musical journey rediscovering some of the legendary female singers of American Jazz… She is “Portland’s own honey-voiced siren.”

Michelet brings the vintage tunes to life!

Linda Lee Michelet is a local, torchy, saloon-style singer who brings a touch of class to her jazz renderings via both her song stylings and her elegant work garb…. Fasten your seatbelt. You won’t believe what comes out of her mouth and what flows from her heart & soul.

Having written and or produced for some great Portland singers and musicians — including Michael Allen Harrison, Curtis Salgado, Shirley Nanette, Julie Ann Johnson, and Ellen Whyte — I think you are in the same league. I am very picky when it comes to vocalists, but my ‘sista’, as they say in the hood “Girl, you can sang” (and I do mean SANG) … Just keep believing in your dreams — sometimes they really do come true.

Michelet dives into the ’50s and ’60s with a great sense of melody on this small big band disc. She takes the tunes of three great melodicists, Peggy Lee, Nancy Wilson and Anita O’Day, and lovingly recreates them, keeping the tunes much as they were recorded originally, but with a tight, smaller band…. Michelet’s buoyant voice is easy on the ears. Her delivery is warm, inviting and true to the melodies.

The testament to a great performer is getting the music off the stage and to the people. Linda does just that!
