Myra Melford

Snowy Egret

Enja

A suite inspired by Eduardo Galeano’s Memory Of Fire — a history of the Americas told through indigenous myths and the accounts of European colonizers.
The wonderful pianist with Ron Miles on cornet, Liberty Ellman on guitar, Stomu Takeishi on bass, and Tyshawn Sorey on drums, ranging through Pan-Americana, hardcore jazz, the blues, and African and Eastern elements.
Staunch Myra admirers, us lot, ever since her first Hat Huts.
