Album Notes

The structure of this CD is conducive to both relaxing after a hard day or rejuvenating energy for maximum performance.

This CD has sold particularly well for ... Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, weddings, anniversaries, and other special events centered around the spirit of giving.

PHOENIX RISING is comprised of ASCAP award-winning composer/pianist Wendy Loomis, Eastman School of Music alumna flutist Monica Williams, and a revolving guest artist. Together they create soundscapes of light that relax and energize simultaneously. Their debut CD ‘Whispers’ has been described as ‘a filmscore awaiting a film’. Phoenix Rising recently released 'Ascension', which made #7 on the Febuary New Age Reporter Charts!

REVIEW EXCERPTS & TESTIMONIALS

Composer/pianist Wendy Loomis paints with a broad palette of jazz, classical, new age, avant garde and world colors, fusing styles ranging from Debussy to Thelonius Monk. (Kelley Dolan, NoHands Records)

Their CD ‘Whispers’ is really attractive and unique - even my teenage sons fell in love with it and "stole" it from me! (Bonita Boyd, Professor of Flute, Eastman School of Music)

" ... a film score awaiting a film ... Despite being an American duo and having a lot of American influences, Phoenix Rising often projects a European quality; again, it isn't hard to imagine parts of this album being used in an artsy film from Spain, Italy, Belgium, or France." (Alex Henderson, All Music Guide)

“PHOENIX RISING is not rising – it has risen!” (Ron Dellums, Mayor - City of Oakland)
