COMING TO US DIRECTLY FROM CARNEGIE HALL!
The award winning American composer and critically acclaimed pianist Lisa Hilton, and her engaging quartet, will perform uplifting new music from their latest release. Hilton’s impressionistic compositions, swinging piano and expressive touch explore the soundscape of jazz and blues inspired by great American composers Count Basie, Horace Silver, George Gershwin and bluesman Robert Johnson alongside influences from Chopin, Satie, and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Hilton appears with some of New York’s finest musicians – the visionary trumpeter Igmar Thomas who has worked with Kamasi Washington, Esperanza Spalding, and Ravi Coltrane, the dynamic drummer Rudy Royston who often appears with JD Allen, Bill Frisell and Tia Fuller and the spirited bassist Luques Curtis, who frequently partners with Christian Scott, Eddie Palmieri, or Stefon Harris. A prolific composer, Hilton warmly shares the stories behind the creative process on stage in this delightful show. Her music annually appears atop jazz radio/streaming charts as well as appearing #1 at Amazon in cool jazz. Her upbeat albums regularly receive positive reviews and millions of streams around the world. http://www.LisaHiltonMusic.com
