| Lili Anel at Cornelia Street Cafe Lili Anel performs in New York City at the Cornelia Street Cafe, Friday, March 2, 2007 in celebration of her new release "Dream Again" [produced by Lili Anel and Cooke Harvey]. Lili Anel, a transplanted New Yorker, has become a regular of the Philadelphia local music scene within the past year. Prior appearances at World Cafe Live's Monday "Philly Rising Open Mic" (among other clubs and cafes in and around Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York) as well as support from WXPN has introduced her to other Philadelphia local musicians as well as a fan base who have embraced her and her music. "Dream Again" marks Ms. Anel's first recording as co-producer and she is joined by her bassist, Cooke Harvey as the other half of this creative effort. Mr. Harvey's impeccable bass stylings and arrangements make this joint effort the perfect collaboration. The CD showcases various sides of her songwriting and arranging, with sonic textures in different configurations, strings, to solo bass, guitar and voice as well as enlisting the expert playing of Dave Bozenhard on guitars and John DiGiovanni on drums and percussion as rhythm section (appropriately named "The Dream Again Band"), stretching jazz, pop, r&b and alternative boundaries. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
