Azz At The Ballroom Presents: Accentuate The Positive

Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center

Peggy Lee's voice was distinctive, understated but full of subtlety with a breathy tone that became her trademark. She made over 50 albums covering many different styles of music, giving them all her unique treatment. However, she had an innate blues style and The Allure of Miss Lee celebrates that. With trademark Peggy Lee hits such as Fever, Black Coffee and Is That All There Is? this show also embraces some of Lee’s lesser-known repertoire.
