Album Notes

"I love jazz. I like blues, bop, and boogie. I can take it straight ahead, or smooth; contemporary, traditional, or something in-between, even. The cool grooves, the instrumental moves, it's all good!

So join me and a few friends, as we play some of our favorites, old and new. Right now, is a great time to be 'In the Mood For Jazz'". Lisa Hilton

"Lisa Hilton is talented, tenacious and gorgeous - an excellent jazz/smoothjazz pianist and composer. She's satin and silk with a touch of denim. She's a warm summer breeze that soothes the canyons of your soul. She is rooted in tradition, yet she courts the infinite possibilities of tomorrow".
Larry Hollowell, Music Director, WJCD radio, June 2003
