THANK YOU TO RADIO EVERYWHERE!

Carnegie 2016Hi There!
Did you enjoy the SuperBowl?  I think it’s always more fun to have a closer game – like last year, but the weather in California was spectacular for a February day and I liked GaGa’s arrangement of our anthem too.
Here’s a photo from NYC last month with JD Allen on tenor sax, Ben Williams on bass, Ingrid Jensen on trumpet and Rudy Royston on drums at Carnegie Hall.  We had a great time!  We had the same band last year but we were lucky to have Ben Williams join us – he’s just terrific and so nice too.  Love those acoustics and my big Steinway at Carnegie!

Well Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU radio stations EVERYWHERE for playing NOCTURNAL.  Just 2 weeks after our Jan. 22nd release date, we are #20 on the JazzWeek radio chart and being played around the world.  We have deep appreciation for this.  There is a lot of music out there – mostly from larger labels, so it is a great vote of support to Antonio Sanchez, JD Allen, Gregg August, Terell Stafford and myself that the music is connecting so well.  As artists, a lot of our creative work is done in relative isolation and then 6-12 months later you find out if anyone likes what you do, (no instant gratification!), so this has been great news.  Stations that we know are playing NOCTURNAL our first couple weeks are listed here (did I miss anyone?) – as well as my Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LisaHiltonMusic.  I just got this not from Russ Davis at  MOJA RADIO/VOICE OF AMERICA: “You can add the  134 million people who hear JAZZ AMERICA on Voice of America as Nocturnal will be featured with our interview this coming Valentine’s Day weekend!” www.mojaradio.com – WOW!  You can also listen here too:

Hope you had a nice Holiday weekend!

I enjoyed family time, hiking, a movie or too and food of course!  Time to listen to NOCTURNAL – our new release that arrived Wednesday, which was exciting too, (it will be available for sale January 22nd, 2016). I also got time to play piano – so there was MUCH to be thankful for here in still sunny SoCal.

Every one has a discounted deal going on right now, but I try and offer a good price at Lisa Hilton Music all year round.   With 17 CD’s out, plus 1 vinyl, digital downloads and sheet music, I hope you will find some good ideas to make your Holiday shopping easier!

I’m also getting excited about upcoming tour dates – especially January 17th, 2016 at 2pm at Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall in NYC.  Perfect acoustics, an awesome piano, and a great band: Ingrid Jensen/trumpet, JD Allen/tenor sax, Ben Williams/bass and Rudy Royston/drums.  FUN!  I really like to encourage students to all performances, but especially for the matinees.  Student tickets (or APAP passes) are available at the Box Office: http://www.carnegiehall.org/Calendar/2015/1/11/0200/PM/Lisa-Hilton-and-Friends/   Other dates are coming up for next spring too:

Christmas 2013 with Ricky

Hopefully you are making it through the Holiday Season well so far and I hope that you soon will have some time to relax with your loved ones.  I’m sharing this photo of my little 14 year old Italian greyhound Ricky from last year – I’m thankful for every year he’s still with me – he seems to get sweeter as he ages!

I’ve been the elf around here after my piano time.  It’s been so busy that this year I’m waiting until the last minute to do the cookie baking, which means that I’m going to be pushed for time very soon – sound familiar?  I’ve been  preparing for our performance at Carnegie Hall January 11, 2015 at 2pm – hope you can come!  (Please pass the link on if you have friends that might be interested).   I’ll be there with JD Allen on tenor sax, Ingrid Jensen on trumpet, Ben Street on bass and Rudy Royston on drums  If you’ve never been to a performance at Carnegie before, I think it’s time for you to come, don’t you? :  http://www.carnegiehall.org/Calendar/2015/1/11/0200/PM/Lisa-Hilton-and-Friends/   We will be debuting new music from our new 2015 release  H O R I Z O N S which I’m extremely excited about.  Here is the very new video from HORIZONS: The Sky and the Ocean:  http://youtu.be/2WlTblOPs1c  and a solo piece from the album from a live video at Cornell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3B4et-OcDE  When it Rains.

Wishing everyone Holidays filled with riches: love, friendship, family, art, music, nature, and peace,

Lisa
