Reviews for "Cocktails at Eight..."
"When I happened across 'Cocktails at Eight' by Lisa Hilton, my ears did a total double-take. I was immediately captivated by the music, and Lisa had me grooving to her arrangements of both 'Take Five' and '‘Echoes of Harlem'. As to her original compositions, 'Seduction'’ and '‘Waterfall'’ are my favorites, solo piano works that are as poetic as they are infecting. Cocktails at Eight? Why stop there, I could listen to this CD all night."
- David Nevue, solopianoradio.com
