Awabakal Suite

The Parrott sisters have pooled their individual talents to release a CD that presents a 360 degree look-see at two of New York City’s most exciting jazz musicians. Under the watchful eye of producer Rufus Reid, Nicki and Lisa take the listener on an eclectic jazz journey influenced by Australian folk as well as classical Western and Indian music. Although the creative re-working of standards like Monk’s ‘Evidence’ are intriguing, it is the self-penned compositions that make this CD a must-have.
