Biography
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, Rovi
