Lisa Hilton

“Hilton channels the everyday beauty she sees around her into her music…jazz played with style, soul, spirit and sophistication…” Modern Jazz Today The award winning composer and critically acclaimed pianist Lisa Hilton, and her engaging quartet, will perform uplifting new music from their latest release Coincidental Moment. Hilton’s impressionistic compositions, swinging piano and expressive touch explore the soundscape of jazz and blues inspired by great American musicians Count Basie, Horace Silver, George Gershwin and bluesman Robert Johnson alongside influences from Chopin, Satie, and Antonio Carlos Jobim. A prolific composer, Hilton warmly shares the stories behind the creative process on stage in this delightful show. Hilton’s music regularly appears near the top on the jazz charts, has been streamed millions of times around the world and normally appears as a #1 Amazon New Release for cool jazz. “Flat out incredible sound, tastefully, artfully and brilliantly done.” KVNF Radio Vocalist Nikki George will open up for the show. This is a fundraiser for The Chicago Lighthouse. Photo credit: Robert Smith
