Anna Acevedo Lyman Latin-Jazz Quartet November 18, 2008

Fizzy Sparkling Songwriting!
Latin-Jazz with Blues progressions and Bluenotes, fused with Salsa, created by a Latinamerican Jazz Vocalist who grew up in Motown -- The result is that she doesn't sound like anyone else!

Bio: Anna Acevedo Lyman is half Latinamerican and was born in Detroit, the legendary home of Motown Soul. As a child, she listened to everything from her Caribbean Stepfather's pop music, Sergio Mendes' Bossa Nova, Cuban dance music, to Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, and the big Motown Stars.
A feature of Anna's music is the combination of Bluenotes and Blues progressions into her Salsa, Bossa, and Bolero tunes. Lyrics in both English and Spanish appear in nearly every tune. Her lyrics are "historias" about the sea, life, and Romance.

Anna has appeared at EXPO-the World's Fair, The Victoria Interational Jazzfest, Pender Harbour Jazzfest, CBC Radio, "North by Northwest", "Hot Air", KJAZZ, and more...
