On October 14 Blue Note released Here It Is: A Tribute to Leonard Cohen, a remarkable new album produced by Larry Klein that presents stunning renditions of the legendary singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen’s profound songs performed by an extraordinary line-up of vocalists.

Teaming up with legendary bassist/producer Larry Klein, Grammy nominated jazz vocalist Denise Donatelli finds fresh and unique ways to share her lifelong love of all things Bacharach on an exquisite, intimate and sparsely arranged collection that balances recognizable classics and sparkling obscurities. With the lone exception of “The Look of Love,” Donatelli, backed by a group of excellent musicians, uses her warm, soulful voice to convey the heartrending essence of the legendary songwriter’s genius for heartbreak.
