Two CDs ... 'Sex Without Bodies' and 'Unauthorized' by a group called 'Dave's True Story.'

I saw this band for the first time this past Tuesday - they opened for Cousteau - and have been listening to them since. These songs fit in the retro jazz, smokey lounge, sultry cabaret ambience. The lead singer reminded me of today's version of the 50's Julie London.

These are quiet songs, with thoughtful and intelligent modern lyrics. Although they're not bossa nova, they do have that same sense of spirit to them.
