notes

Ingrid Lucia singer of The Flying Neutrinos
Ingrid Lucia grew up in a traveling family band, gypsy style. She lived in buses, boats and tents for the first eighteen years of her life. She started out as a dancer, by the age of 8 she was singing in the band. Her early years she was traveling with a Mexican Circus, then off to the big time. Traveling and performing in Nyc, New Orleans and San Francisco. In her teens she lived in New Orleans in the winter months and worked on perfecting her craft.
At 18 she and her cousin Todd Londagin left the family band to make it in Nyc. She did that, making her first Cd in one day.(I'd rather be in New Orleans) which features Doc Cheatham. Her next album (Hotel Child) was produced by Tommy Lipuma who has produced Barbara Streisand,Natalie Cole,Dinah Washington,Dr. John, Diana Krall, Miles Davis to name a few. Ingrids third record "Live from New Orleans" was recorded upon Ingrids return to the Crescent City in 2001. "Fortune" 2002 followed that. Ingrid wrote all but two songs on the record.
February 2004 Ingrid released her fourth CD "Almost Blue" produced by Tracey Freeman who produces Harry Connicks recordings as well as many others.

Ingrid Lucia and the Flying Neutrinos, Hotel Child

I first discovered the Neutrinos this summer in the jukebox at the Old Absinthe House on Bourbon Street. I was drinking, their music was playing, and the sound and surroundings blended seamlessly. Now, even in December, and even without the absinthe, putting on a Neutrinos disc turns my apartment into a New Orleans nightclub, heat, smoke, and all. Fueled by a core of Big Easy natives now based in the Big Apple, the Neutrinos make jazz that really swings and rolls. Some say the Ingrid Lucia sounds like a young Billie Holiday, and they're not wrong. She sings in a manner that is irrepressibly sultry, delivering clever or romantic lyrics with a knowing smile, and plaintive or somber ones with a perfect pout. Treat yourself to sound clips at flyingneutrinos.com, where there is also a tour schedule of their terrific live act.

  • Excellent
    author: Tommy

    This is the first of her albums that I purchased. I usually wait a while before I purchase a cd from an unfamiliar artist, I like to read many reviews and listen to song clips. I think it exceeds all expectations.

  • Great CD with sublime vocals, though not her best
    author: George Gibson

    A great CD though not up to the best that Ingrid Lucia has produced. Only one track fails to impress, Rhinestone Cowboy, which would be criticized even on easy listening albums. Its certainly not the zingy jazz that Lucia can seemingly easily produce. However, no review of Lucia is complete without the comparison of Lucia's voice to the late, great Billie Holiday. The differences though are vital; this is Holiday on an upbeat happy day on a sunny, relaxed, sun-kissed island. A significant and palpable joy.
