There isn't a perfect way to describe Leslie Helpert-- she's one of those enigmas that completely surpasses the spoken word. Leslie is a story, a journey of a person, who only begins to emerge when you've listened to her sing for hours. Her voice carries the breath of life, and her musical style captures the whimsical way that she sees the world. You might say she's the perfect candidate to sing the songs of Billie Holiday. With a strolling bassline and a lazy, gorgeous piano behind her, Leslie sings the cooing, warm melodies that made Billie the darling of vocal jazz lovers everywhere. Bring your easy chair and a bottle of wine-- Leslie and her band are going to make the night glow with the spirited, slow feeling of being right at home.
