Recorded live with no edits or overdubs simultaneously into Disklavier format and direct to high resolution digital audio. Reviews "A master of shading, intertwining chords in a way that can be as intimate as a whisper, or as commanding as a whole symphonic chorus. Standout cuts include "Dream Come True," "Michael's Song" and "In The Monterey Mist"." ~ Scott Baker, Editor, Tucson Lifestyle Magazine "I love this album! Roots is an autobiography set to music, and clearly demonstrates Laurie's diverse and deeply personal composing styles as well as her mastery of the piano. A classically-trained pianist since the age of four, her touch is warm and expressive. Everything about this album rings true and real." ~ Kathy Parsons, Piano Notes
