Lilian Terry (1930–2023) was born in Cairo and raised in Rome. A pioneering jazz singer on Italian television in the 1950s, she recorded actively between 1957 and 1963 with top Italian musicians —Romano Mussolini, Oscar Valdambrini, Gianni Basso, Enrico Intra, Dino Piana, Sergio Fanni— and international artists like George Gruntz, George Joyner, and Buster Smith. She sang jazz standards in English and Italian, always with elegance and emotional depth. “Lilian Terry sounds the most American of the handful of European singers who have made it in jazz, yet she has the most international background of them all,” said producer George Avakian. Her voice was pretty and expressive, marked by beat, feeling, good intonation, and a flexible, intimate quality that made her unlike anyone else. A tireless jazz promoter, she gradually shifted her focus to organizing events and educational projects aimed at promoting jazz awareness. For all these qualities—and her enduring contributions as a jazz artist—she is rightfully considered Italy’s First Lady of Jazz.
