The album “A Pink-Filled Sky” was recorded live for a studio audience in 2010. It features seven original songs and three notable performances of standard jazz selections. An acoustic collaboration of voice, piano and double bass, the album features a spectrum of original contemporary jazz which reveals hints of Margot’s classical music background and improvisational tendencies. Captured live in concert, the recording showcases the trio’s penchant for in-the-moment arranging of standard jazz repertoire, their element of surprise and healthy irreverence echoed in the delighted applause of the live audience.
