About Peggy Lee
Cellist Peggy Lee is classically trained, but has turned her attention more toward playing avant-garde jazz in addition to her own modern compositions. The Vancouver musician has worked regularly with Francois Houle, Dylan VanDerSchyff, and many more. Although quite young, and relatively new to jazz's edge scene, she has already wowed audiences at experimental and new music festivals such as F.I.M.A.V. where she played with the NOW Orchestra (with Rene Lussier, Barry Guy, and more) in 1998, and the next year opened the Victoriaville festival with her own ensemble. In the late '90s, she released CDs on Hatology (a duo recording with violinist Carlos Zingaro), as a leader on Vancouver's Spool label and also appears on some Soul Note releases. Peggy Lee has also been a member of Standing Wave, the Tony Wilson Sextet, Talking Pictures, and the NOW Orchestra. ~ Joslyn Layne, All Music Guide

Dear Science TV On The Radio |
| On the way to be established as the best American band of the decade, TV on the Radio's third album has arrived surrounded by five star reviews. Good news is the music totally justifies this level of hype. The Brooklyn-based combo has not abandoned their experimental nature; albeit "Dear Science" sounds deliberately shinier, funkier and more accessible than its, already polished, precursor "Return to Cookie Mountain." Lyrically, though, is quite a darker proposition. Many see on its tone a suitable metaphor to describe their country's collective mood, demoralized and confused, right at the end of Bush's presidency. The band's eclecticism is on full display: electro hooks next to D&B touches; shoegaze's atmospheric layers mixed with post-rock's bass lines via P-funk, often all in the same song. This sonic fusion can be as impressive as disorientating; rich and dense, but also the key that makes TV on the Radio's work improve with repeated listening. Main vocalist Tunde Adebimpe, often helped by guitar player Kyp Malone on second vocals, appears as a sort of missing link between Peter Gabriel and Prince; whereas David Sitek recently turned into producer du jour, applies his multi-instrument playing skills. Members of Antibalas guest on horns, highlighting the romance a new generation of US bands is having with African music. Celebration's Katrina Ford also helps in the mighty single "Golden Age" and the ballad "Family Tree", another of the album's many standout moments. . | |
