Play It Cool is an album by vocalist Lea DeLaria.
Music and recording
This was her debut album for Warner Bros. Records. The 11 tracks are from contemporary musical theater. The arrangements were by Larry Goldings and Gil Goldstein, separately. She uses "several vocal techniques to bring each song to life, including scatting, elongated phrasing, swing, and balladeering".
Reception
The JazzTimes reviewer commented that "DeLaria is a worthy heir to the Broadway–Vegas axis. More important, she is a bracing-and very welcome-blast of fresh air."
