Lulee Fisher

In the daunting world of girl singers, San Francisco Bay Area-born, tall, blonde and beautiful Lulee Fisher is something special. From her earliest childhood days when she put on "shows" to amuse her family and friends, her fascination with the world of entertainment, and her love of entertaining, was clear. As a young girl, she was trained in the music of classical opera. She also performed as a soloist with church and school choirs and in stage musicals, when opportunities arose. Her passion for jazz began through the influence of her aunt, Ramona Crowell, who was a friend of the great Dizzy Gillespie, among others, and she gave Lulee, at an early age, the opportunity to attend performances of many of the jazz legends.

Later on, as a young woman with a yen for traveling, she stopped in Honolulu on her way to join a friend in Afghanistan, fell in love with Hawaii and remained to enroll at the University of Honolulu, where she studied for a degree in architecture. In time, however, she realized that her greatest interest was in the field of entertainment, and she switched her major to music and drama. Eventually, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in Hollywood, where she became involved in the film business, first as an actress and singer and, finally, in producing. Still, her devotion to jazz and her role in it remained strong and dominated in her goal setting. Whether on location in Europe, or Australia, or Canada, she would seek out jazz clubs, sit in with the musicians and take available gigs.

Andrew Lesnewski

Andrew’s versatility and experience belie his relatively young age. Playing his first professional gigs at 15 soon led to recording work and international tours. After finishing school, he was admitted to the jazz course at the Queensland Conservatorium and in his second year was selected to participate in a tour to Indonesia for Australian Education Week.

Not content to merely immerse himself in only one genre, he was soon playing and excelling at double bass, and then later in his degree, switched his focus to classical music. It was this versatility which lead to work with Jon English and Brett Annable, work on various short film scores, frequent engagements as a freelance bass player, and even feature in a television ad in Korea for Kia Cars. Also Andrew has been worked on cruise ships in the US, as the ship’s bassist backing many International acts.
