Renee Rosnes: Crossing Paths
Jazz pianist Renee Rosnes presents her new album of classic Bossa Nova songs
The jazz pianist joins Vienna Live for a listen to his new album, Dear Mr. Hill
HARTFORD:
The title of Dear Mr. Hill, the engaging debut album by the gifted pianist and composer Andrew Wilcox, is addressed to the legendary Andrew Hill. But the album as a whole, a spirited mix of original compositions and keenly chosen standards, is a missive from Wilcox to the many mentors and influences that have guided him along his path.
Due out August 16 via Truth Revolution Recording Collective, Dear Mr. Hill not only conveys the musical inspiration of those teachers and influences, but surrounds Wilcox with them.
The album teams Wilcox with the veteran rhythm section of bassist Avery Sharpe and drummer Yoron Israel, both of whom have taken the young pianist under their prodigious wings.
Come welcome Andrew to our show!
