Singer Kimberly Adams records her 5-song demo at LV Studios

Just in time for Christmas, Kimberly Adams‘ demo CD is wrapped up and ready for the listening pleasure of merry-goers every where.

Featuring Kimberly Adams spectacularly clear vocals, she is accompanied in studio by Jazz Pianist Ted Phillips, Guitarist Charles-Etienne Doucet, Bassist Michel Dansereau and drummer Basil De Souza.

Recording and mixing this demo leading up to the Christmas Holiday was an inspired and motivating experience. LV’s mandate was to track and mix a professional grade demo cd for soliciting shows … Kim and her band-mates cetainly came through with flying colours to make this demo a particularly enjoyable experience.

Kim and Ted are no strangers to working together musically as Mr. Phillips also happens to be the orchestrator of the Ted Phillips Vocal Ensemble, of which Kimberly is an active member as soloist and administrative assistant … so returning the favour to come onboard as keyboardist and band leader for Kim’s project was a natural course of action. This creative and professional familiarity paid off in kinds as the band quickly laid down their tracks in record time with very few retakes.

Here are some samples of the final results:
