Her diverse catalog of dynamic compositions, recorded and produced on the legendary Tribe Record label co-founded by her husband, saxophonist/clarinetist Wendell Harrison, is distributed in multiple countries, including Japan, the UK, and Germany.
"Wise, an assured bop pianist with a Tyneresque (as in McCoy Tyner) touch, composes strong melodies and braces them with the simmering rhythms of the Afro-Cuban tradition." - Dan Ouellette-Downbeat Magazine
