	Double Entendre price comparison at MSN Shopping
		Tom Lellis decided to call this 1991 release Double Entendre because the CD marked many "doubles." It was his second album, it marked the second time he was backed by bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Jack DeJohnette, and it found him doubling as a stand-up singer and a sit-down singer/pianist.
		In a sense, it's regrettable that Double Entendre is Lellis' second album -- by 1991 (when he turned 45), the singer should have built a large catalog.
		But unfortunately, many jazz labels had overlooked Lellis when they should have been waging an all-out bidding war.
