In 2015 Coastal Jazz and Blues Society in Vancouver, BC commissioned Peggy Lee to compose a suite of music for a new 10-piece ensemble. The intent was to create an ensemble including some of the most active and interesting improvisers on the Vancouver scene, both veterans and younger players, all highly accomplished artists and leaders of their own projects. Echo Painting was premiered at the 2016 Vancouver International Jazz Festival. With many colors to draw upon, the music is multi-layered, texturally varied and melodically rich. From driving rhythmic vamps to incendiary improvisation to achingly beautiful melodic compositions, Peggy Lee takes anything she touches to a deeper and more artful level creating “music that combines the timeless and the otherworldly in equal measure” (Georgia Straight).
