MIDWEST RECORD RECAP
...former member of the Chicago progressive jazz community pulls out all the stops on this solo piano tribute to the ECM and Impulse stars as well as the progressive stars from before it was a genre. Billy Strayhorn is the ringer on board, but she takes on his more challenging works and the theme holds. A solid set that comes from the heart, this piano tour de force is a solid bet for genre fans looking for a meaty set that mixes the old and new properly...

JAZZIZ: INDIE CULTURE
...a solo piano tribute to Marilynn's favorite composers including Evans, Monk, Mingus and Strayhorn. Songs by Billy Strayhorn, Thelonius Monk, Charles Mingus and Bill Evans are lovingly rendered, conjuring a raft of complex emotions.

Pianist Marilynn Seits has been playing professionally for over thirty years now and has released seven other CD's on her own CMR Records label. This piano tribute was recorded on a Bosendorfer piano with 2" analog tape, Neumann tube microphones and very little digital processing. What you hear on this CD is a virtuoso performance of several beautiful and haunting pieces, some of them not often heard. If you love piano jazz and the music of Strayhorn, Mingus and Monk, you'll love this CD!
