"In a world of too much forgettable repetition, Leitham’s music, instrumentally and vocally,  is a memorable pleasure. Leitham’s latest CD, Mood(S)wings, showcases a stellar collection of standards and originals, with Leitham’s remarkable left handed bass playing and her captivating vocals in the spotlight. Backing her, pianist Andy Langham and drummer  Randy Drake provide musically symbiotic interaction, sharing Leitham’s far ranging, improvisational flights. The results are stunning displays of state of the art contemporary jazz.”
