| Chaise Lounge performs a blend of music that sounds like it was recorded at Capitol Recording Studios in 1962 and somehow found its way to today’s pop charts. You might call it “Early Stereo.” Or perhaps Lounge with a capital “L.” Or maybe just plain enjoyable. It is the combination of five of the Washington area’s top jazz musicians playing sparkling arrangements of standards and original tunes and featuring the soft, luminous vocals of Marilyn Older. Her voice is truly an American Original. An evening spent with her is an evening spent in the warm, inviting glow of one of the wonderful voices singing in America right now. |

“So Hush”
From Charlie
I’ve been listening a lot to James Hunter and it feels like every time I write, or even hum something, it comes out with that old-school Sam Cooke feel. The same one that James Hunter uses on his best tunes. We just premiered this song at the Atlas Theater concert last week. I played acoustic guitar and John played cornet. Marilyn of course sang beautifully. This is just a rough mix of the studio version, but I thought it would be nice for you to hear a song “in progress.”
