Titled "Songs for You," the recording was released Nov. 20.

The concert is scheduled for 7 PM at the intimate venue, located at 425 Lafayette St. For tickets, priced $30, call (212) 967-7555 or visit joespub.com.

Featuring classic songs from the worlds of pop, jazz, R&B and Broadway with innovative twists, the new recording has musical arrangements by Gary Adler, Mary Ann McSweeney, Jesse Vargas and Leung. The album, produced by Michael Croiter, is available on iTunes, Amazon.com and at live performances.

"All of the selections from 'Songs for You' are classics,” said Leung in an earlier statement, “and I worship at the altar of the artists that originated them. The challenge for me and my musicians: how to make them our own. We discovered that the way to truly do that was to not think of ‘the self’ at all, but to focus the sentiment and the energy of the song towards someone else. Who are we singing to? Why are we singing this song? When we found the ‘who’ in the song, we found our way in. We unearthed a deep, personal connection to the music that made these timeless songs come to life again. We hope that our listeners will feel the generosity of spirit that was intended with each track."
