Kenny & Leah have received critical acclaim from the media and music industry professionals:
âTouching and tender, powerful and poignant. Part of Leahâs appeal is her considerable talent... the rest (comes) from a genuine regard for her audience. She connects! too bad there is not a Grammy for heart and soul. She would surely scoop it up. It has been said that Leah set songs ablaze, stirs hearts, enliven memories and quiet souls.â
- The Tampa Tribune

ââ¦Kennyâs playing is superb as usual. Listening to this beautiful music reminds me that Kenny Soderblom is probably the best saxophone player that I have every recorded.â

- Bruce Swedien -- Five time Grammy winner
Sound Engineer for Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson

âKenny you always take care of business and itâs great you and Leah are doing your thing together.â
- Quincy Jones
Married in 2004, Kenny and Leahâs wedding reception film was accompanied by Barbra Streisandâs breathtaking performance of Ann Hampton Callawayâs song, Iâve Dreamed of You. Leah was so taken with the song which now held such special meaning for both her and Kenny, they developed an entire album around this title track.
Iâve Dreamed of You also includes wonderful standards such as Gershwinâs The Man I Love, Lollipops and Roses by Tony Velona, the passionate Spanish love song Malaguena Salerosa, Nancy Wilsonâs Save Your Love For Me, Sway, the English version of Quien Sera, the Academy Award winning When You Wish Upon a Star, immortalized in the Disney animated classic, âPinocchio,â and What a Wonderful World, first recorded by Louis Armstrong.
âLeahâs musical growth has been nothing short of astonishing. Her ability to move from smoky torch songs to passionate Spanish love songs, to a jazz version of a Gershwin tune is remarkable,â says Kenny.
