The international sensation created by the group’s debut CD Palm Court Pleasures led to Ensemble Vivant’s sparkling sequel, Palm Court Encores, originally released on the Pro Arte Label, and subsequently chosen by the Columbia Record Club as a featured selection. The repertoire ranges from classical to ragtime to tin pan alley, all with original arrangements written exclusively for the group primarily by jazz legend Rick Wilkins, C.M. This delightful recording, now a classic, also includes a tender and evocative original by Ensemble Vivant’s pianist and artistic director Catherine Wilson.
