Lee J. Harold Releases “Memory Lane”

Lee J. Harold released Memory Lane, a 5-song EP of jazz standards. The tracks were arranged by Jim Holton and recorded, mixed and mastered by Forge Recording Lead Engineer, Ron DiSilvestro. Forge Recording also designed and manufactured the CDs which are available on CDBaby.

Memory Lane is, well, a trip down Memory Lane with familiar songs like Irving Berlin’s Blue Skies and Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Favorite Things, with delightlful and original twists and turns. A little less familiar are Oscar Brown, Jr.’s Memory Lane, Eddie Jefferson’s and James Moody’s Moody’s Mood for Love and Dizzy Gillespie’s Night in Tunisia.
