Myra Melford

[Guest Bill Barton]

...Thanks for the recommendation Bill. The CD arrived yesterday and I really enjoy it.

You're welcome! I've been listening to this one over and over these past few weeks (and not just because I was working on a review of it for Signal to Noise.) It's a beautiful recording, some of Ehrlich's best recorded playing I think. And Melford is just so elegant as well as swinging here. Guess you can figure the review is going to be positive

She has a forthcoming new release on Cryptogramophone with Mark Dresser and Matt Wilson. They are called Trio M and their first release is called "Big Picture".

I received it this week and I really enjoy it.

I have the two disc version of Alive In The House Of Saints and Spark with Marty Ehlrich.

I pretty much enjoy all of it but I tend to prefer the more bluesy melodic side like the tracks Some Other Blues and Night off the titles listed above.

If anybody has other recommendations for her I would be into checking them out.

The two Enemy trio cds are worth seeking out. Fine energetic and excitng playing.

Excellent choice! I also bought this one recently and I really enjoy it!

Her contributions on the two discs by french horn player Mark Taylor, QuietLand and Circle Squared are excellent.

And don't miss out on Alex Cline's Continuation where she plays some harmonium that radically departs from the "traditional" role of that instrument as well as brilliant piano. The band on this CD is amazing.

And fresh out of the wrapper from today's mail:

Satoko Fujii & Myra Melford - Under the Water

This is brand new on Libra. And it's freakin' brilliant...

echoing bill, myra is a key player in the beautiful new alex cline quintet cryptogramophone recording, continuation, which is available for download, but strangely not from the issuing label.

i connect with most of her fine work, and this cd is fine, even by myra's standards.

I just grabbed this off emusic and I also highly recommend it. In fact its amazing, if something comes out this year that I like better it will be a great year. Thanks Bill, without your post I would have missed it, hopefully it will get the press it deserves so others will get the chance to experience it also.

You're welcome... Yeah, both of those new CDs have greatly impressed me.
