Lucy Lambert

Lucy Lambert is a jazz pianist, accordionist, singer, artist, and violinist based in Vancouver.

​

Her romantic and dreamy songwriting, virtuosic piano and accordion playing, and classy swing ambiance are complemented by her sultry and soulful singing style.

​

As an artist with synesthesia, music and color have a deep relationship for her. Synesthesia is a neural cross over in the brain where sounds have associated colors and textures, and vice versa. This  inspires her to pursue both the emotional and colorful aspects of jazz performance as well as the musical and rhythmic aspects of painting and illustration. The piano becomes a canvass for improvisational creativity, and the canvass a sound board for the emotional textures of music. 

With an extensive background in touring and performing internationally, from street busking as an accordionist across Europe and Asia, to playing as a pianist and violinist in swing bands and jazz clubs in Montreal, New York, New Orleans, and LA, my experiences as an artist are vast and diverse.

She is the producer and creative director of her jazz quintets albums and music videos. Her jazz band, "Lucy Lambert's Violet Drift", and features a rotating cast of some of Canada and Americas best jazz players, such as Joe Abbott, John Nicholson, Kevin Romain, Seb Chamney, Noah Gotfrit, and Juliette Malgrange. Lucy's singing is influenced by the great vocalists of early jazz music such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith and Chet Baker. ​

Lucy's second jazz album, 'Lost Caravan', which she produced and released with some of Vancouver's top musicians has been recently released to national airplay on CBC and Jazz FM radio. Find it out on all platforms!
