O’s Notes: Lyambiko is a fresh new voice on the scene and take note, she’s already turning heads! She really swings with phrasing and inflections that convey the feeling of each song. Her signature is smooth and strong spread out over 15 soulful, jazzy and blues tracks including samples from the songbooks of Jobim, Gershwin, Porter and Ellington with a soaring rendition of “Work Song”. Lyambiko is at home with each. Welcome to our jazz world.
