"Composer/pianist Wendy Loomis paints with a broad palette of jazz, classical, new age, avant garde and world colors, fusing styles ranging from Debussy to Thelonius Monk." (Kelley Dolan, NoHands Records)
NEW CD 'ASCENSION' - Available now!!!
"Yesterday I received the copy of the album ASCENSION by Phoenix Rising... Although I have more than 50 CDs to listen to, I decided to listen to this album and I must say it's brilliant. I was very surprised about the beautiful melodies of the compositions. I also have to congratulate both women for a recording with original things like all the stories about #7 in this recording. I am going to add it to the station library for airplay on LA OTRA ORILLA and sharing their music with my audience from now on." ~Francisco M. López Herrero
This new CD is designed to relax and energize the listener - whether on a daily commute, a weekly yoga class, or a monthly massage. Themes are composed by Wendy Loomis and performed by Monica Williams (flute), Jennifer Lim (guzheng), Debra Podjed (tabla), Jessica Styler (hang drum), Suellen Primost (cello), Irina Mikhailova (vocals), Karen Segal (guitar), and Wendy Loomis (piano).
SINGLE RELEASE!
Inspired by Diane Sawyer's 'Good Morning America' interview of the 16 women Senators, Wendy wrote a vocal tribute called 'Anything I Perceive'. In the spirit of hope and change, it is a perfect song for today!
