Lisa Hilton has surrounded herself with an all-star supporting cast, so The New York Sessions looks promising on the surface. But the pianist is not a particularly distinctive improviser, sounding more like a middle-of-the-road performer rather than a jazz player on far too many of the selections. Her originals often tend to border on new age, while the jazzier selections are arranged so conservatively that her fellow musicians (including alto saxophonist Steve Wilson, trumpeter Jeremy Pelt, bassist Christian McBride and drummer Lewis Nash) aren't really properly showcased. Two bland interpretations of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" don't help matters at all. Even proven vehicles like "Emily" and "Epistrophy" are disappointing in her hands. One last note: it pays to proofread a CD before issuing it, as there is no excuse for misspelling the names of composers Johnny Mandel and Thelonious Monk. ~ Ken Dryden

JazzTimes (p.112)
- "Lisa Hilton is a smooth, fluid pianist whose version of jazz is accessible, pop-inflected and sweetly romantic."
