Shades of Lady Day"
Teri's Latest Release
Dot Time Records
New York based vocalist Teri Roiger recently released her fourth recording as a leader, "GHOST OF YESTERDAY: Shades of Lady Day", a heartfelt tribute to Billie Holiday. Since Ms. Holiday provided the initial spark that led to a lifelong commitment to jazz, this one is especially personal to Teri.

"Teri has an intuitive laid back sense of time reminiscent of Abbey Lincoln & Betty Carter but with her own uniqueness." - Jack DeJohnette (NEA JazzMaster)
"Powerfully moving...segacious warmth...impressively deep..."
- Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes
  
"She is made for those who still understand the meaning of the term the real thing." - Stanley Crouch (Author/Cultural Critic)
"Roiger has a voice like the finest bittersweet chocolate full of rich, dark, contradicting flavors that miraculously blend to create one of the most original vocal instruments in decades." - Playboy Magazine
"Billie Holiday provided the initial spark leading to my commitment to a life in jazz! On this multi-dimensional project I celebrate and honor Lady Day's legacy by showing the many facets of Billie...her ebullient joy, her rebellious spirit, her rich sensuality, and the depth of her blues. Included on the recording are songs made famous by Ms. Holiday, songs written by Ms. Holiday, and some very moving songs about Ms. Holiday, including some of my original lyrics. This recording brings me full circle."
