Here’s a little teaser from the first recording session LL Cool Jazz did a couple of weeks ago. These three songs will be on the album! Hot off the recording desk, mastering is yet to be done. If you’ll listen carefully, you can hear all my breathing and my leather shoes creaking. Tee hee. We’ve […]
What a great Sunday I had! In the morning I was invited by Amanda Easton to be a part of the film clip shoot for her new song “New Bohmemians”. What a great song, a great idea and great vibe/feel. Amanda invited about 12 indie artists to be a part of her clip, to celebrate our […]
Jazzy Cello with LL Cool Jazz For your info, LL Cool Jazz is Scott Leishman on guitar and Anne-Lise Larsen (that’s me) on vocals. The name comes from the two x Ls from our surnames, and we play… cool jazz. 🙂 Well, this afternoon we were supposed to be rehearsing – our last rehearsal – […]
The Machiniso EP “In Lounge-O-Scope” has just been reviewed by respected Sydney DJ Georgina Reed. Her description of my voice is very flattering and I can’t thank her enough for giving Machiniso such a great review. Here’s the opening paragraph. “The husky, sensual and sultry vocals of Anne-Lise (pron. Anne-Leesa) Larsen is the first thing […]

As I alluded to in my last blog post, here is the third one of the evening. I had a rehearsal today with Scott Leishman. He and I have a predominantly jazz duo, but sometimes we branch out into other music..a bit of soul and pop every so often. Anyway, we went through a handful […]
With the new website build, I have been thinking that it would be a good exercise to get more into the habit of blogging regularly. I hope this won’t be a case of blogging three times in one night (i.e. tonight) and that’ll be it. Baby steps…
Slowly but surely rebuilding the site after a fairly major technical issue that I didn’t have time or inclination to solve. (the error being some sort of table error when I upgraded to the latest version of wordpress). There was a time when I would have gone to the ends of the earth to discover […]
On Saturday morning I awoke to the lovely sound of multiple emails arriving to my phone. Thinking that I might have had a few ‘hellos’ from friends or family, I got up to have a look to see whether the day might have any interesting social activities ahead. To my surprise, there were hundreds of […]
So, it hasn’t been the greatest weekend. After my being bombarded by thousands upon thousands of returned (bounced) emails that had been spammed from my stolen email address, I decided to update my wordpress to the latest version. Big mistake. I lost the whole website. Being tired (brain dead) and slightly tipsy after a few […]
