Although Carmen Lundy was right on the cusp of the jazz-vocal renaissance of the early nineties, fame somehow eluded the versatile singer. A model of persistence, Lundy has soldiered on with ever greater self-possesion; her recordings, including the recent "Modern Ancestors," resound with musical assurance–she composes much of her material–and outspoken political fervor.
