Details:
Blue Dream is a 70 minute suite of music written by Fiona Joy Hawkins, produced by Grammy winner Will Ackerman (Founder of Windham Hill Records) and recorded at Imaginary Road Studios on a Steinway B.
Featuring guest performances by Luka Bloom, this album goes from quiet contemplative piano to full orchestral, to world sounds, rhythms, jazz influences and back again to the perfect “Bach” moment – all in a breath. Blue Dream can best be described as World Fusion Piano.
An exquisitely captivating musical journey from start to finish. Vibrant, Sensual, Haunting. Blue Dream is an unforgettable magic carpet ride into the heavens. I am so proud to have been a part of Fiona’s special world....” T-Bone Wolk, Producer Arranger (Hall and Oates)
Fiona Joy Hawkins is an Australian Composer and Pianist who crosses genres. From
Contemporary Classical, to World, Jazz and New Age, her four albums have claimed many International awards and are available in most records stores in Australia and the US.
After charting at #1 on the World New Age Radio Charts (across 9 countries) for all her releases to date, she took out the prized Best Piano Album in the NAR Lifestyle Music Awards in 2006 and made the finals in two genres for the LA Music Awards in 2007. Also, a finalist five times in the MusicOZ Awards and winner of a Piano Heaven Award (for being one of the top 30 Best ever piano albums), she hopes that Blue Dream will be the album to really break through Internationally.
“Fiona Joy Hawkins plays with great imagination and beauty. Every measure of this sensitive recording is carefully considered, it takes the listener on a wonderful journey” Bob Ludwig, Gateway Mastering
As well as Luka Bloom and Will Ackerman, Blue Dream includes performances from some of the best instrumental artists in the world including T-Bone Wolk (Hall and Oates), Heather Rankin (The Rankin Family), Eugene Friesen (Paul Winter) and Jeff Haynes (Pat Methany) and many more.
"Fiona Joy Hawkins’ BLUE DREAM began as the most ambitious project of my entire career and resulted in one of the most remarkable collaborations this genre has ever known. The scope of what we contemplated in the beginning was so vast as to be nearly paralyzing, but with Fiona’s talent, both as a composer and player, and a group of musicians of world-class caliber, a 67:50 suite of music resulted. The music itself spans a broad range of styles and ethnicities and yet (though we didn’t know whether we’d succeed until the very end) is magically cohesive. It works! Never has
faith been more rewarded. In the process we restored meaning to a word which has been sorely abused; Blue Dream is unique and I’m as proud of it (and Fiona) as anything I’ve ever worked on in my 35 year career of Grammy Awards and gold and platinum records."
