The songs are choices from lesser-known Billie Holiday repertoire. They are ones that really resonate with me and work well with an upbeat swing band. We recorded my favorite way: live. It was really fun to play with The Dukes again. I used to sing with them back in 1993 when Ray called me "kid".
LILY FROST singing songs about;
Secrets
Lullabies
Unrequited love
Future Memory
Unveiling the Truth
Love affairs with the Forest
War of Religions

I was in the Renaud Bray bookstore the other day and when I went to the music section, I saw your jazz c.d. there! I also heard one of the tracks on Radio-Canada here in Montreal. Bravo! I was so proud to see that disc there as I remember talking about it in your kitchen and then...Boom! there it was in front of me. Thanks for the inspiration Lily!
Thanks for a great interview, Lily! The article's getting posted at Lucid Forge Monday, but I've put it on my blog in the meantime! http://blog. myspace. com/catekustanczi cheers...
Many thanks for becoming my friend. Love your music and your voice. Hope you enjoyed mine. If you haven't had a chance to listen, kindly take 10 minutes to do so and let me know what you think.
My friend, I hope you're not exhausted of live music after NXNE, because I'd like to personally invite you for a drink and a smile at our musical party this Thursday, June 19th at Sneaky Dee's. We'll be accompanied by a couple of very energetic & powerful bands (ADA & The Isosceles Project) that will make for an especially high-caliber soirée.
It has been a while since our last communication. How are you? I see that you never moved to Sedona. It's still here if you want it. I am closer than ever to finishing my project and I will make sure that you get a sample of it when completed. Hope all is well in Toronto and that you are all thawing out now!! Many Blessings,
