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). ~AMG

Lily Frost is back with her follow up record Too Hot For Words (Marquis Classics/Universal 2015) to the critically acclaimed Lily Swings.

Lily Swings (2007) was received so well by radio and audiences alike that a follow up was inevitable. Both Zoomer and Jazz FM Toronto have been playing the album for 6 years straight without solicitation!

Too Hot For Words features again the repertoire of Billie Holiday using clarinet and lap steel but this time Lily chose to cover some of her favorite songs from the repertoire of Ray Condo himself. Lily Swings was an ode to the late western swing singer Ray Condo who loved Billie Holiday but had a charismatic style of his own. The selections Lily has chosen from Ray’s repertoire move into a rockabilly domain revealing an undeniable energy leading most audiences to the dance floor.

Lily delivers with drama, delicacy and an undercurrent of strength and edge. It is apparent that the material moves her deeply. An old soul.

Featuring both fresh interpretations and classic songs from the great American songbook, Lily’s concert is a jazz show for veteran jazz fans and contemporary audiences alike. Her latest project delivers the promise of a very fun and energetic album — pairing rockabilly with surf and vintage swinging jazz. Too Hot For Words was produced and engineered by Jose Contreras the acclaimed Toronto (Chilean) producer (By Divine Right, Hey Ocean and Lily Frost ) who has a passionate flair for live recordings and a deep understanding of Lily and her artistic vision.
