from The Seattle Times:

She’s got a new album coming out soon (“Standin’ on the Rooftop”), and what better way to launch it than with a tour that begins in Seattle? The merveilleux Madeleine Peyroux, she of the languorous voice redolent of smoky Parisian nightspots of yore, visits Jazz Alley with her combo and a cache of tunes old and new. On the song list no doubt will be cuts from her latest, “rootsier” disc, which includes a song by Lennon-McCartney and material by Peyroux herself. Thursday-April 2 at Jazz Alley, 2033 Sixth Ave., Seattle; $36 (206-441-9729 or www.jazzalley.com).
