Pieces of treasure

"The distance from "The Last Chance Texaco" to the wilds of New Orleans' soupy swamps has taken its share of twists and turns for Rickie Lee Jones, but the distance traveled both literally and figuratively prepared her for the jazz of Pieces of Treasure ... It's as if Jones has spent her life preparing for the opportunity to cover these jazz classics".

"Reuniting with Titelman over these songs, she's reaching back into the roots of her music, and extracting from it a warm and intimate set that feels like it wants to put its arms round you and take it from there".

"Given her status as a vintage artist of considerable renown, Pieces of Treasure isn't a reinvention in the strictest sense, but rather an absolute affirmation of revered ranking. It's a route any number of other artists of her generation have taken, and yet it's a mark of contemporary credence as well. In Jones' hands, these Pieces of Treasure receive the value they truly deserve".
