Album Description

Jean Lenke's debut album, RESTLESS is as diverse as Jean is and highlights her musical creativity brilliantly! Carefully curated into an epic tale of love’s ups & downs, these songs take the listener on a journey, sure to captivate. ”This album speaks to the restlessness we all feel at some point in our lives - especially as we age. We reflect on our lives & loves, our wins & loses, our adventures & missed opportunities… and our blessings of course. What pulls us along and pushes us forward is often a mystery. Sometimes it’s a joyful journey, and sometimes it’s a really tough one. Whatever’s going on in your life, I hope my album carries you along for part of your journey.” ~ Jean Lenke Recorded at Morning Star Studios, by Glenn Barrett, Jean and her studio team have created a have created a unique piece of work, infuse with rhythm, energy, playfulness, and unexpected surprises. Studio musicians include acclaimed Jazz pianist Tom Lawton, contemporary Jazz saxophonist, Fostina Dixon, and sophisticated Jazz-Rock-Alternative team; Kevin Hanson, guitar, Jim Stager, bass & Erik Johnson on drums. Together under Jean's musical direction, they've created a unique experience, infused with rhythm, energy, some really cool West Coast inspired swag, and a common love for really great music! Completely self produced, RESTLESS includes Jean’s original lyrics & music, out-of-the-box standards, unexpected covers of Joni Mitchell & Steely Dan tunes, and a beautiful Bossa Nova by Canadian composer David R. Miller, that Jean penned lyrics to in a camp workshop! Highlights include collaborations with the wonderful Philadelphia songwriter James Solomon, reinventing two of his songs from the 70’s into “new standards" that others will be lining up to cover as well! Singer- Songwriter Danie Ocean wrote the title song for Jean, Restless Wondering, which caps off the album brilliantly and aptly sums up Jean’s eclectic statement about this stage of her life.
