Currently professor of oboe at CalState L.A., Mr. Feather is playing some of his more exotic woodwind instruments on this CD: Alto Flute, Oboe d'Amour, Bass Clarinet, Native American Flute, Boxwood Penny Whistle and Tenor Recorder.
Wrightwood Records recording artist MARILYN HARRIS saved her allowance for 5 years to buy her first piano at the age of 10. Since then she's worked with Bette Midler, Jim Brickman, countless jazz luminaries, Vegas acts, new age and cabaret artists, among others. WINDS ON IVORY follows up her recent successful CD release KOTO KEYS. Read about and hear more of her music at her website: www.marilynharris.com

A breath of fresh air
author: KJON99FM
Phil engages various woodwinds to Marilyn's tender piano and they merge the independent feeling each can muster into very gentle melodies. The piano is just soft enough while the woodwinds are casual enough that neither overpowers the other (and becomes a distraction as a whole). Refreshing.

What an awesome duo. Phil excels an every instrument he plays on this CD. It is a true pleasure to listen to.

This is lovely!

I gave a massage yesterday with [Winds On Ivory], and it was very calming...good for smoothing out rough edges. The piano/bass clarinet combo on 'Sky Blue Waters' has a nice, earthy quality to it that is very grounding. I love how the open chords on 'Native Heartbeat' create a space for the flute to dance. This seems to be one of Marilyn's most effective piano playing methods. I think we all need space to hear, and she certainly allows it with her playing, while simultaneously sculpting that space! 'Canyon Cry' keeps subtly shifting the tonality, keeps me on a journey. 'Citadel' is hauntingly beautiful, makes me think of a windswept cloudy day in a remote spot. 'Renewal' is just plain gorgeous. I will play this at the day spa I work at!"

Really has a handle on the genre
author: CLH
The mood stays the same throughout, and a person could use it for quiet background music, meditation, relaxation, even romance. Solid musicianship, with enough variety and musical integrity to keep it from getting boring.
