About the Album
Lisa Marie Simmons uses arresting lyrics and warm vocals to co-create the NoteSpeak 12 album with inventive artists and music director Marco Cremaschini. Music of this Italian-based band, billed as “global jazz hybrid,” defies category. Each eclectic song is its own galaxy within the Cremashini-Simmons universe. Meticulously mastered tracks include: "Sparkler" is an electrifying cut for syncopated ensemble with 1960’s pop roots. Each instrument celebrates New Year’s Eve from a unique downbeat.
