TESTIMONIALS
“Exciting tunes, atmospheric lyrics, sensitive production, fine solos from a very classy bunch of players, and the agility of Pepi Lemer’s fast vocals and improv bring back many fond memories from when I last heard her perform in what must have been the 1970s. Her inventiveness and the energy of that unison-melody sound I remember from Turning Point still sound as vivacious as back then.
Can it really have been THAT long ago?”
John Fordham
“She gives a masterclass in vocal gymnastics...the music here is eclectic and spectacularly engaging throughout, the complex arrangements injecting new life into these pieces. All the high-calibre musicians appearing here, including Peter Lemer on piano, keyboard and
co-production duties, make vital contributions too. Ultimately though, it’s Pepi Lemer’s prodigious talent which makes this album so irresistible.“

THE ALBUM
My inspiration to find a repertoire of songs that could embrace a passion for latin rhythms, improvisation and intricate jazz patterns which would enable me to use a vocalese singing style, was the great jazz guitarist Pat Metheny and when he gave me permission to write lyrics to some of his compositions this CD and a new band was formed.
I have assembled a group of Britain’s finest musicians to perform this material which combines the styles of latin/jazz/world fusion music and I hope that it will reach a new audience.
No music is new - but to embrace music past with renewed energy and colour can only be and is for me, thrilling”.
