JESSICA MOLASKEY's third solo CD Make Believe was given an "A" ranking and called "wondrous" by the Philadelphia Daily News on its first day out. Her debut CD, Pentimento, was proclaimed one of the top five entertainment records by Amazon.com for 2002. Jonathan Schwartz of National Public Radio called it "The best cd of the year." Show Business Weekly called her second solo CD, A Good Day, "the best female vocal CD of 2003". Her fourth solo CD will be released in 2006.
