This past weekend, our NYC-located blogger checked out the keyboardist’s venture into Afro-Peruvian jazz. Check out her writeup and pictures on SmashingPumpkins.com.

In April, Lisa Harriton MySpace-blogged that her solo album would come out this month; this weekend a post appeared on that blog saying that the album will “be released at the end of the summer.”
But tonight at 8pm, as scheduled, Harriton will begin her six-night residency at Manhattan’s Tutuma Social Club. And this is Serious Jazz Music, People, as evidenced by the omission of all Smashing Pumpkins work from her biography posted on the venue’s website.
(Thanks to HU Twitter follower Ramires for the heads-up.)
Lisa Harriton: Solo Album, Residency Plans 4:47 pm // Tuesday, April 7, 2009

Smashing Pumpkins keyboardist Lisa Harriton has been busy as a bee in her time away from touring. According to her MySpace blog updates from this week, she has a solo album to be released in June, upcoming NYC residency plans for July (I’m so there!), and recently performed for a charity show in LA.
In her own words:
After a long run of touring with the Pumpkins, it is nice to have some time to rest. It’s amazing the little things you notice about your house when you get home from a long tour. For example, the way those dust bunnies magically reappear every morning despite how much you cleaned the day before! Moi? A neat freak? Seriously, It has been a wonderful time of reflection for me. In the last three months, I have gathered all of the tunes that I wrote on the road with the Pumpkins plus a few new ones and have started recording my solo album. It will be released this June.
Also, I am finalizing details for recording an Afro-Peruvian jazz album in NYC to be released on Saponegro Records by the end of the year. Many of you know that jazz is such a big part of my life. In 2003 and 2005, I performed at Festival de Jazz in Lima, Peru. I simply fell in love with the culture and the Afro-Peruvian rhythms. This July, I am scheduled to do a residency at Tutuma Club de Jazz in NYC. I am so excited about all of the new music to come. Stay Tuned.
