The Window

"The beautifully rendered album reflects Dilley's preoccupation with conceptual composition.... Storytelling with instrumental music is a daunting task, but Dilley gives much thought to the ways music–without words–can articulate feelings and experiences."–Gilbert Garcia, The Current (Click here to read entire article)

This long-awaited album of straight-ahead originals plus long-loved standards by Hoagy Carmichael, Bill Evans, and Leonard Bernstein also features Cecil Carter (piano, trumpet), Rob Hardt (saxophones), and Gerry Gibbs (piano, drums, percussion), with cameo appearances by Tony Campise (saxophone) and Ron Wilkins (trombone).

River of Hope

"A collection of jazz tunes reflecting Mr. Dilley’s varied influences: Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, and mainstream jazz...a deeply passionate and personal work....He deftly translates all the colors, sounds, and feelings associated with his life experiences into music....His rich bass is the stuff of heart beats, ocean waves, and other natural earth rhythms....”–Hannah Castellaw, WomanSpace
