Oasis

An enticing Oasis pulsing with west coast cool is what the acclaimed pianist and award-winning composer Lisa Hilton and trio mates Luques Curtis/bass and Mark Whitfield Jr./drums, have created. Using traditional ideas in new and invigorating, or impressionistic ways, Oasis - which is defined as: Something serving as a refuge or relief has delivered on that promise. Hilton's expressive and impressionistic compositions explore the soundscape of jazz and blues alongside classical and modernist ideas fueled by the inspiration from past composers Count Basie, Horace Silver, George Gershwin, and Robert Johnson.
