Pepi Lemer - Back2Front (2015)

Pepi Lemer, co-founder of the legendary jazz/fusion group ‘Turning Point’ is now launching her new cd and band ‘Back2front’. Pepi’s inspiration to find a repertoire of songs that could embrace her passion for latin rhythms, improvisation and intricate jazz patterns which could enable her to use her vocalese style of singing was the great American jazz guitarist Pat Metheny, and when he gave her permission to write lyrics to some of his compositions, her band was formed using his and other world composers songs.

She has created a driving, exciting percussive mix of jazz/latin fusion music using her remarkable vocal range and unique vocalese style.
