She composes real melodies, which is rare, and her lyrics are sensitive, subtle, at times impertinent, always well written. She's a princess of charm in the sometimes staggering castle of French song. Lend her your ear for one moment, and she'll give you news from your heart for a long time. »</em></p> <p> ​— Claude Lemesle</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Ete-2-1486827037" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/392677/Ete-2-1486827037.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> Les Lueurs de Lily are also four talented jazz musicians from the prestigious school of Didier Lockwood and the American School of Music : pianist <strong>Jibril Caratini</strong>, guitarist <strong>Hugo Corbin</strong>, double bassist <strong>François Bernat</strong> and drummer <strong>Adrien Cao</strong>.</p> <p> They are the ones who give each song its colors and make them stir during concerts !</p> <p>  </p> <p> On the occasion of the album, several guests join us : the author <strong>Claude Lemesle</strong>, trumpettist <a href="http://www.robinmansanti.com/" target="_blank">Robin Mansanti</a>...<strong> </strong>and a few surprises ;)</p> <p>  </p> <p> Finally, the project receives the precious support from photographers, directors and graphic designers : Nicolas Fortin, Jérémie Normand and Solène Pichereau… and most important, support from the public !</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <u><strong>THE FUND-RAISING</strong></u></p> <p>  </p> <p> Our goal is to raise <strong>4 000 € before the 1st of May</strong> so we can record and release the album. </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Thanks to you</strong>, who support the project in taking part in the campaign and spreading the word among your friends, the album can happen ! </p> <p>  </p> <p> Numerous participant offers are available, from 5€, depending on the amount you can bring : digital album, <strong>signed album</strong>, photos, concerts clips, quotes in the thanking part ; you can even come and watch a morning of <strong>recording in the studio</strong> or order a <strong>private concert</strong> !</p> <p> <img alt="Flyer-kkbb-1486828554" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/392689/flyer-KKBB-1486828554.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> You can also discover the album live and talk with us at one of our next concerts :</p> <p> <strong>3rd March</strong> : Campaign launch at the <strong>Café Universel</strong> (Paris 5)</p> <p> <strong>28th March</strong> : Concert at <strong>La cave du 38 Riv'</strong> (Paris 4)</p> <p> <strong>21st April</strong> : Concert after artistic residency à la <strong>Chapelle des Lombards</strong></p> <p> <strong>31st May</strong> : Last concert of the year au <strong>Forum Léo Ferré</strong> (Ivry)</p> <p> <strong>September</strong> : Concert for the album release</p> <p>  </p> <p> Together we can make this album happen.
