Glimpse
Glimpse is Jennifer Lee’s fourth collaboration with guitarist Peter Sprague, and it’s the second album on which a majority of the songs are her original compositions. Nine of the eleven tracks are Jennifer’s originals, once again showcasing her skill and breadth as a songwriter.
From swingers worthy of the Great American Songbook, to jazz noir, to jubilant sambas and a heart-rending ballad, Glimpse is a colorful tapestry of inspired and inspiring music. Joyful, soulful, uplifting, poignant, tender, wistful, heartbreaking, cathartic, transformative, moody, mysterious, whimsical, playful – these are just a few of the words that describe this dynamic new recording.
Jennifer’s husband, George Visger is a significant player in this album’s creation, as five of the nine originals (tracks 1, 4, 7, 9 and 10) were inspired by him. Four of those are love songs (this from a musician who never previously wrote songs about romantic love). The fifth, Warrior, Drop Your Sword, offers a metaphysical take on George’s extraordinary life journey – a harrowing and inspiring tale of tenacity and survival. You can read about it in his book “Facing Giants” (www.georgevisger.com).
