  • Intermixx Webzine Online Edition
    by Noel Ramos I recently interviewed the lovely Quinn Lemley, a rather unique InterMixx mem- ber in that she performs a hybrid of jazz, cabaret and lounge music. INTERMIXX: Quinn, I am very pleased that you have joined InterMixx and are in- volved in our activities. Do you consider yourself an "indie" artist, and if so, how do you define indie? QUINN: Yes Noel, I am definitely an "Indie," so much of the jazz/cabaret/lounge community is these days with labels pulling back their support in our genre. The great thing about being an "Indie" is that I had the opportunity to create my own vision for each of my recordings. INTERMIXX: In your opinion, what are the main problems concerning indie musicians at this time? QUINN: Financing and Distribution. We are "the engine" for everything. INTERMIXX: Your style of music is still somewhat unique amongst our membership, and I commend you on your DIY attitude. Can you describe what you do for our readers? QUINN: Of course, I am a hybrid of lounge/jazz and caba- ret. Some of my music is a big band feel and others a small four piece combo, it's sultry, sexy, fun music. Sort of a cross between Keeley Smith, Ann-Margret and Julie London. INTERMIXX: Tell us more about your portrayal of Rita Hayworth, and how that came to happen. Was it largely because of your resemblance to the beauty queen? QUINN: You are a doll, yes, I was doing a musical off Broadway and a friend of mine, Preston Ridge saw it, and he said that I should do a musical about the life and music of Rita Hayworth because I resembled her.
