Nicki and Lisa Parrott -The Awabakal Suite
NYC based Australian sisters blend wide-ranging styles including bop, swing, classical, folk, world and standards with Australian roots coalescing into a CD that is expansive in scope yet focused in musicality.
The Parrott sisters have pooled their individual talents to release a CD that presents a 360 degree look-see at two of New York City's most exciting jazz musicians. Under the watchful eye of producer Rufus Reid, Nicki and Lisa take the listener on an eclectic jazz journey influenced by Australian folk as well as classical Western and Indian music. Although the creative re-working of standards like Monk's "Evidence" are intriguing, it is the self-penned compositions that make this CD a must-have.

Lisa Hilton
Seduction
Lisa Hilton's soothing and sensual solo piano is a mainstay of new age radio and music providers around the world. "Seduction" is a collection of compositions that mix classical, pop, and light jazz styles.
"The piano is my friend, my teacher and a passion which soothes my soul and seduces my senses. In composing, I mix my favorite blues, pop and classical styles for a contemporary solo piano sound which speaks to me of today's life. Listen for the whisper of an evening breeze, the splash of a mountain stream, and the rush of Friday's traffic. Listen for anger, acceptance, love, lust, pleasure, pain, and prayer. Now let the music move through you, and listen to the life we share".

Dancing At The Gate
Original contemplative solo piano compositions that create space for reflection within a genre somewhere between new age, classical, and jazz
One of the finest debuts of this or any year." - Steve Ryals, Fresh Tracks
"A refreshing restorative - an hours retreat from the sharp edges of life. Quiet music that encourages quiet contemplation... an almost guaranteed doorway to an inner peace... priceless." - Wes Phillips, music critic for Stereophile and onhifi.com
"I listen to it each night; it draws me to a more centering and real place. I will put it with Chopin's 'The Nocturns,' Satie's 'Trois Gymnopedies,' and George Winston's 'Plains.'
- Michael J. Brown
