Myra Melford Plans NYC Residency March 24-29
Will reunite several past ensembles

By JazzTimes

Pianist and composer Myra Melford will present a career
retrospective at The Stone in New York’s Lower East Side March 24-29.
Melford—who now lives in Berkeley, Calif., and is a professor of music
at UC Berkeley—will revisit some of her former projects from her 20-plus
years living in New York. Throughout the week, according to a press
release, “Melford is enlisting many former NY peers and newer
‘top-shelf’ improvisers and collaborators to play her music: Matt
Wilson, Dave Douglas, Allison Miller, Mary Halvorson, Tyshawn Sorey,
Erik Friedlander, Cuong Vu, Chris Speed, Marty Ehrlich, Nicole Mitchell,
Ben Goldberg and others.” 

On March 24, Melford will release Snowy Egret, by her new
ensemble of the same name with Ron Miles (cornet), Liberty Ellman
(guitar), Stomu Takeishi (acoustic bass guitar) and Ted Poor subbing for
Sorey (drums), who will appear earlier in the week in a trio with
Melford and Nicole Mitchell.
