PHILIP AABERG'S MONTANA MEMORIES
Philip Aaberg has lived in San Francisco for the better part of three decades, but he was born and raised in Montana and that's the landscape that shapes his music. A pianist who elicits accolades from George Winston, Will Ackerman and Samite, Aaberg came to renown in the mid-1980s at the height of Windham Hill Records and made several albums for the label, including his critically acclaimed debut, HIGH PLAINS. Philip Aaberg looks back on a career that includes hit records with Elvin Bishop ("Fooled Around and Fell in Love") and Henry Gross ("Shannon")and his own music, in which he evokes the endless horizons and small pleasures of the plains states with his melodically arresting solo piano compositions. His 2001 album, LIVE FROM MONTANA (Sweetgrass Music) was nominated for a Grammy Award.
