Good evening ,

First off let me tell you that for the first time in our 9 1/2 year history of Sunday evening jazz we have to sold out shows tomorrow for the concert Kind Of Blue.  Thank you to all who are coming for your support.

Wednesday February 20 - Vivian Lee Quartet with Ron Foggia on paino, Paul Klempau on bass and Jeff Minnieweather on drums will be in concert at the Tsakopoulos Library Galleria (Downtown Central Library) 828 I St.  The library has invited us to celebrate Black History Month with Here's To The Ladies: Carmen, Billie, Nancy and Dinah, showcasing the music and history of these amazing African American ladies of jazz.  Join us from 6:30-8pm.  There is seating for 125 with more seating available if needed.  This beautiful room is the perfect spot to enjoy a great evening with us.  No cover

The Feed The Muse Campaign to pre-sell the CD continues. You can go to http://www.feedthemuse.net/vivianlee to contribute or pre-purchase the CD. If you go to the feed-the-muse page you will find all of the different levels and fan benefits available for those who pre-purchase My Heroes Have Always Been Singers. If you aren't comfortable with doing business online you can still be a part of it all by mailing a check to Vivian Lee 4706 Acclaro Ct Antelope, Ca 95843.  Don't forget that 10% of what is left after production and then 10% of each CD sold will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in honor of Anne Gipson, who passed away in 1988 from this dreaded disease.

Here is what is happening in the progress of the project.  Darius and Jeff went into the studio with me Tuesday evening and we recorded their tracks for five songs and they sound amazing.  This week I am going to record the vocal tracks for At Long Last Love, send my photos and other art work over the Shawna at Unisette and let her work her magic on a CD booklet and CD label.  Then it will be time to send everything over the Discmakers to reproduce the CD.

Here's Darius in the studio recording his tracks for Summer Samba.

Have a great week and I hope to see you Wednesday evening at the Downtown Central Library.
