It says something about the caliber of pianist Nicholas Phillips's artistry that he's been able to reach a wide, appreciative audience from his home base of Eau Claire, WI, thanks to his excellent recordings. Now making his New York recital debut, Phillips shares pieces from American Vernacular, an impressive new CD of pop-infused modern compositions by Mohammed Fairouz, David Rakowski, Ethan Wickmann, Luke Gullickson, Ben Hjertmann and others.
