Liz Story has established herself as one of the most distinctive composers and solo pianists of new instrumental music that emerged in the 1980s. Between 1983 and 2005, Liz released ten full-length albums: seven albums of primarily original solo piano compositions. two albums of jazz standards, and a beloved holiday album, The Gift. Liz also wrote or arranged several songs that were released in Windham Hill collections over the years. She received a GRAMMY nomination in 1988 for her song "Reconciliation."

In 2023, Sony Music Entertainment honored Liz with the release of "The Essential Liz Story," a thirty-song retrospective of Liz's original compositions. In honor of the forty-year anniversary of her first album, "Solid Colors," Liz will give a 40th Anniversary Concert at Carnegie Weill Hall in New York City on November 11, 2023.
