Condition: New! Sealed.
Pianist/composer Lisa Hilton adds a bit extra spice on this latest release with JD Allen/ts, Larry Grenadier/bass and Nasheet Waits/drums. Her music, usually flowing like a river, is a bit more like a Class V rapids here, with extra assertion and percussion in the writing and delivery. Hilton and team display a dark aggressiveness on the brooding Someday, Somehow, Soon and kinetic title track that mixes moonlight with foreboding shadow. On the trio pieces, she displays more open musical spaces as she mixes a New Orleans playfulness on Jack and Jill with Satie inspired impressionism on B Minor Waltz. Waits works overtime on this disc, with some conversant and ricocheting drum work throughout the session, while Allen is sonoric and searching on his tenor. A confident step forward from Ms Hilton, who is continually seeking and finding an original voice.
