Linda Lee Michelet: Vocals/Piano/Cello
Finish this statement: Jazz is more than just... music. It is a lifestyle.
I hear you just changed the name of your band and you're adding some new elements to your show. What's happening?
The band was originally called Big Band Peggy Lee, as most of our arrangements are original Peggy Lee/Quincy Jones arrangements. We are changing it now [ to Linda Lee Michelet Big Band ] because we will also be doing other shows.
We are very excited to be rehearsing for an Anita O'Day show and Julie London. We want to become a multi-faceted jazz/swing band, to be a top vocalist/dance hall band, and then be able to turn around and do a show at the Mt. Hood Jazz Festival. Read the interview >>

Reviewed in the Oregonian
"...She has a strong, expressive voice, well-suited to the kind of flirtatiousness in Lee's music. The torchier songs and the mid-tempo swing pieces both sounded great, and Michelet's love of the music was clear."

Peggy Lee Big Band CD/DVD set
On sale at Amazon, CD Universe and MTV! Add this classic collection to your library and enjoy it any time you want to feel good about life.
Sultry in her demeanor & sounding a lot like Peggy in her musical renditions, Linda put on a show that was totally entertaining. As an added attraction, I got to walk that beautiful lady dressed like Peggy to the stage & introduce her to a throng of admirers.

She jazzed up her life
....Linda
always had had a hankering to be a performer... So she made
it happen. Her decision to change her life four years ago led to "a
sea change," she says. "It was sort of a feminine mystique
epiphany."

... Like the bubbles in a fine glass of champagne, she breezes throughout the room in constant motion, with personal touches of effervescence. These fleeting glimpses create a feeling of wonder, as if she’s singing just for you.
