Search - Lisa Hilton :: Kaleidoscope

2014 release, the 16th album from the Jazz pianist, producer and writer. Kaleidoscope showcases Hilton's upbeat compositions and agile piano with bandmate and bass icon, Larry Grenadier and the creative genius of next - gen drummer Marcus Gilmore, with the renown J.D. Allen on tenor sax for three of the eleven tracks. There's retro grooving on ''Simmer", "Labyrinth" or "Midnight Mania", soulful ballads with echoes of a young Bill Evans on "Blue Horizon", "Kaleidoscope" and the solo piano, "Stepping Into Paradise", new takes on tradition with "Bach/Basie/Bird Boogie Blues Bop" and "Sunny Side Up," and romantic covers: "When I Fall In Love" and Adele's "One and Only." This band delivers fun, power, passion and nuance in a refreshingly clear manner. Audiophiles will take note on the superior sound quality of this recording. Renowned engineer James Farber, along with multi Grammy winning engineers Al Schmitt, and Gavin Lurssen deliver outstanding high fidelity on Kaleidoscope.
