Mentors and Mavericks - Myra Melford
Jun 7, 2014 5:30pm – 8:00pm
Admission: $10
YBCA Forum

Through a piano solo performance and recorded clips, Myra Melford takes us on an aural journey of her own musical lineage—from her primary mentors such as Don Pullen, Henry Threadgill, and Erwin Helfer to other inspirations of jazz innovators such as Randy Weston, Andrew Hill, Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, Cecil Taylor, and others. Mystery guest to be announced.

DIALOGUE: Myra Melford and Ben Goldberg

Myra and I have been performing duets since 2008. Each concert is a chapter in an evolving musical conversation -- two musicians speaking the same language with slightly different points of view, and, like any good conversation, finding something new. So we titled the project DIALOGUE. -- Ben Goldberg

Cost: $10
