Between the Lines

Performing in trio, quartet and quintet settings with some of Chicago's finest, pianist Joan Hickey's modern takes on standards, pop tunes and her own originals are fresh, vital and swinging. Joining the rhythm section of drummer Dana Hall and bassist Dennis Carroll, are trumpeter Tito Carrillo and saxophonist John Wojciechowski performing arrangements of "Black Magic Woman," "My Funny Valentine," "The Man I Love," and more. "... one of the most appealing and distinctive pianists in Chicago...(she) produces gorgeously singing lines and unexpected harmonies" - Chicago Tribune. "A vibrant harmonic glow..." - Chicago Sun Times.
