Hillai’s upcoming album, “Every Other Now,” is a collaboration with bassist and composer Ben Meigners, featuring notable names from the NYC music scene, including guitarist Steve Cardenas, drummer Eric McPherson, and percussionist Café Da Silva. The music draws from a broad sonic palette, aiming to forge a distinctive sound. It evokes themes of memory, nostalgia, reflection, and the fluid nature of how we perceive time. Over the past three years, Hillai has developed this music in NYC jazz venues like Ornithology, where she holds a residency. She gained recognition for her innovative approach, experimenting with various rhythms, harmonies, and ensemble configurations before finalizing her current group. Together, they have been performing an expanding repertoire of compositions co-written by Hillai and Ben, as well as compositions of other members of the band.
