That sounding board came alive once more when Myra Melford and Satoko Fujii performed there on September 14, 2007. Melford and ...

Big Air is the debut album by the genre-mashing transatlantic quintet of saxophonist Steve Buckley, trumpeter Chris Batchelor, and tuba player Oren Marshall, from the UK, and pianist Myra Melford and drummer Jim Black, from the USA. It comes carrying weighty expectations--Big Air's infrequent performances have enlivened the British jazz scene. The band caused a stir ...
Alex Cline: Continuation
by John Kelman
It's been a long time since percussionist/composer Alex Cline last released an album under his own name. 1999's Sparks Fly Upward and 2001's The Constant Flame (both on Cryptogramophone), culminated his evolving Alex Cline Ensemble, combining measured spontaneity with long-form writing that, in its near-classical approach to compositional development, was a unique confluence of form and ...

Myra Melford &Tanya Kalmanovitch: Heart Mountain
by Jerry D'Souza
Fate drew violist/violinist Tanya Kalmanovitch and pianist/harmonium player Myra Melford together at the Canadian 2003 Guelph Jazz Festival. Kalmanovitch could not play with her quartet, and therefore teamed up with Melford. Both women are improvisers who can shape their musical journeys into a compelling portrait from a common thread. Proof positive can be found on Heart ...
Myra Melford & Tanya Kalmanovitch: Heart Mountain
by Budd Kopman
Pianist Myra Melford and violinist/violist Tanya Kalmanovitch have created, in Heart Mountain, a work that demonstrates the highest degree of interaction between players who have the innate ability to create spontaneous music that lives and breathes. There is absolutely no reason why jazz, specifically improvised music, cannot and should not be listened to with ...
