Product Description Infectious and charming: Lily Frost performs songs from the great American songbook made famous by Billie Holiday. Review "An excellent job done with obvious love and respect." -- Toronto Star "Frost's voice bends to the phrasing cleanly; from cheerful vibrato to wistful angst...[her] musings recall the solipsistic romance of vacant ballrooms, smoky jazz clubs and candlelit dinners for one." -- Eye Weekly "I found a lot that I liked. [Lily]Frost has a beguiling voice." -- Now Magazine "Un beau disque de vieux jazz a la moderne, fait avec respect." -- A Bon Verre, Bonne Table "[Frost's interpretations] have the cool, intoxicating effect of a first-class cocktail." -- Hello! Entertainment From the Artist Lily says: "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'." About the Artist A rare bird from Canada's musical woods, Lily Frost is inspired by spiritual exploration, human relationships, achieving the impossible, and long espressos. A serious musician who plays her own guitar and writes her own songs, she's released 8 albums to date (including her work with seminal lounge group The Colorifics). Her work is cinematic, blending film noir, stark minimalism, cinematic images, and coruscating, soul-stabbing honesty.
