| All About Love |
“All About Love” comes from our hearts beating as one. With the sensitivity of our brilliant music director, John Oddo and phenomenally talented musicians, John has written arrangements that flow with romantic flair. Kenny and I invite you into our world of love and romance as we serenade you in song |
– Kenny & Leah |
“All About Love” is all about Kenny and Leah in real life. The songs are mostly about love and mostly well-known, but two of them are fine originals by Leah, “Play That Tenor Sax for Me” and “Leah’s Lullaby.” Kenny is featured instrumentally on Gershwin’s “Our Love Is Here to Stay”, and he is heard with Leah throughout, along with John Oddo’s expert piano and arrangements. Leah dazzles not only with her vocalism but her renditions in Portuguese, French and Spanish. Then, too, there is Dave Frishberg’s witty “Another Song About Paris”, an ironic point of view which sets off the sincerity and love expressed by the others. |

“Leah’s voice fits this choice of music perfectly and together Kenny and Leah set the mood. Kenny’s playing is superb as usual. Listening to this beautiful music reminds me that Kenny Soderblom is probably the best saxophone player that I have ever recorded.” – Bruce Swedien, 5 Time Grammy Winner Producer, Sound Engineer for Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, etc. “Leah and Kenny, I can’t thank you enough for the cds. Your both so talented. The choice of material is so wonderful. Arrangements are beautiful. Vocals are perfect. A breath of fresh air.” |
– Jamie Fagan (Queen of the Jingle Singers) |
“Leah’s vocals are strongly complemented by Kenny’s superb saxophone work throughout the cd… His tones are rich, deep and full of that mellow quality that makes the listener know they are in the presence of a master. |

“Together Kenny and Leah Soderblom know how to stoke the sizzle in romantically lit jazz with the verve of a couple whose entire being is saturated in love.” – JAZZ TIMES “Leah handles the vocals with a warmth and romanticism and a clarity of voice that is enchanting.” |
– John M. Peters, The Borderland Music Watch Column - London, England |
“All About Love is all about great listening. Kenny and Leah Soderblom have given us 14 tracks of musical magic. If there’s a fan club for these talented folks count me in for a charter membership!” |
– Bill Miller, Host/ Nationally syndicated Bill Miller Show |
“Kenny and Leah Soderblom’s new release is ALL ABOUT LOVE and so it is. If you’ve ever been in love or want to be then this is your CD. The beautiful combination of both Leah’s voice and Kenny’s horn is both romantic and seductive. The Great AmericanSong Book lives on here and I hope Kenny and Leah will continue to Play That Sax and sing love songs for all of us for many years yet to come.” |
