A Kiss to Build a Dream On is a 2008 studio album by Jessica Molaskey, and her first with the pure jazz Arbors label.[1] It’s named for the song composed by Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby and Oscar Hammerstein II in 1935, and recorded by Louis Armstrong in 1951.[2]

It pays tribute to, as Molaskey refers to in the liner notes "various sized pieces of wood with strings attached."[3] It features her husband John Pizzarelli, Bucky Pizzarelli, Martin Pizzarelli, and Aaron Weinstein in this vein.[4]

Other tracks include show tunes, old standards,[5] and two originals written by Molaskey and John Pizzarelli.[1]
