Lily Dior's "tribute To Sarah Vaughan" at 606 Club

An expat Australian singer now settled in London, Lily Dior comes with an impressive and extensive cv. The daughter of professional musicians, Lily spent her first five years touring the world before finally settling in Australia. Her debut album ‘Invitation’ received universal praise and put Lily firmly on the Australian music map. "She can belt out a song, dramatize a lyric, swing hard and earthy, flirt, sing a tender song - Lily can tell a story" ABC. In what is now an extensive and highly respected career Lily is recognised as one of Australia’s foremost vocalists, performing at major festivals and venues around the world, including performances in the likes of New York, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, Shanghai, Hong Kong and of course London. She has shared the stage with a who’s who of world-class musicians including Oscar Castro Neves, Dale Barlow and James Morrison and includes numerous TV and Radio appearances as well as hosting her own show on Sydney’s premier jazz station ‘Eastside Radio’ for over ten years. The music tonight will showcase Lily's jazz credentials as she presents a Tribute to one of her favourite singers, the iconic US vocalist Sarah Vaughan. The material will be drawn from Sarah's vast repertoire, all performed with the powerful and charismatic vocals that are Lily’s trademark. I rate her so highly I asked her to perform with my band, trust me she’s well worth catching. Also featured tonight will be the brilliant piano and organ playing of Jim Watson along with Neville Malcolm-bass and Rod Youngs-drums. Highly recommended....
