Myra Melford - Snowy Egret

Pianist and composer Myra Melford is one of the most distinctive voices in today’s jazz, drawing from American vernacular musics to create music that is ‘lean, lithe and appealing’ (Wall Street Journal).

A serial award-winner, she makes a long-awaited foray into the UK celebrating the November release of a new recording on Firehouse 12 Records, with a band that displays her ability to write music that draws out the very best from an awesomely talented line-up of trumpeter Ron Miles, guitarist Liberty Ellman, Stomu Takeishi on bass, and drummer Gerald Cleaver.
