This truly beautiful album was the second album ever released on Motéma and the first of many to reach #1 on the JazzWeek Radio chart. Pianist Lynne Arriale's singular touch on the piano is subtle like a fine wine. This gorgeous ballad, Arise was written to honor the heroic first responders in the World Trade Tower attacks of 9/11/2003. Arriale's trio worked as a united whole, and the well-rounded program on this album is highlighted by the bluesy version of the pop tune "American Woman," Ariale's sensitive ballad "Arise," and the Latin romp "Esperanza."
