A close friend of Les Paul, Malone approaches the transformative artist's repertoire with creative reverence, sensitivity and his swinging signature lyricism. Acclaimed Chicago vocalist, who has also made her mark around the world with her new CD, "Do I Move You?" and her rousing tribute concerts to Mahalia Jackson, joins Malone to perform selections from the Les Paul and Mary Ford songbook and other classic favorites. The program draws from a variety of Paul/Ford popular tunes including Moonglow, Caravan, That Old Feeling, How High the Moon, Stompin' at the Savoy, Deed I Do and Am I Blue.
