Lu Jasper was born and raised in New York City. As a child, Lu loved to write poetry, but also fell in love with singers of the past, such as Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday, and Lil Green. This spawned an overall obsession with singing, which, aside from annoying her sister greatly, caused her poems to morph into songs. When she finally found the right band, she was able to record her first album, Good-bye Heartache. This album represents all the trials and tribulations she experienced during that time, primarily with regard to the absolutely terrible NYC dating scene. Really, what's up with the guys here? Are they this bad everywhere? Probably down the line, she will write an album titled, "I could have had love, but my sandwich seemed more intriguing."
This album features Lu's earliest recordings and is heavily influenced by jazz and blues.
