Lily Frost - Lily Swings (2008) Lossless

Singer Lily Frost is a hard one to pin down. She’s studied modern jazz and is influenced by 1960s music and pop culture, yet Frost also has a background in ‘20s jazz and pop as well as '50s retro swing. LILY SWINGS is a tribute to two legends, jazz vocal icon Billie Holiday and the late Canadian underground retro-wizard Ray Condo. On LILY SWINGS, Frost presents an album’s worth of songs of Holiday classics, but she does them her way. While SWINGS has a particularly old-school ambiance to it, Frost performs Holiday in a mostly up-tempo, swinging style (as opposed to sublime melancholy).
