kh1958 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Her second leader date is really good; you will enjoy it. Here are two more fine recordings where she is a sideman: Ian Underwood, Help I Lost My Body, and Simona Premazzi, The Lucid Dreamer (Inner Circle). She's only on a few tracks on The Lucid Dreamer (which also features Greg Osby). The Ian Underwood recording (a bass player, not the ex-Mothers sideman) is really excellent and was one of my most frequently listened to recordings acquired during 2013. The tenor sax playing on this one is sublime. Its available from cdbaby.com Edited January 7, 2014 by kh1958 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesoul Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Melissa Aldana has a new album out in March. Also, kind of interesting, she recently interviewed Sonny Rollins. Edited March 11, 2016 by bluesoul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Yes, I pre-ordered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Berger Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I saw Melissa and the Crash Trio in concert last night. Very impressive player, look forward to hearing how her style evolves. Very cerebral and not-showy, reminded me of Mark Turner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
