(The COVID-19 outbreak has forced us to CANCEL this concert. Myra hopes to be able to reschedule the tour for later in the year—and so do we.)

A touchstone of the improvised music scene for over thirty years, this RJA favorite keeps collecting accolades for her fearless approach to contemporary composition. “As a bandleader,” adds New York Times jazz critic Giovanni Russonello, she “finds a happy balance between assiduous precision and flagrant risk.” On its best of 2018 list, the San Diego Union Tribune described Snowy Egret’s latest album as “lilting one moment, raw and edgy the next, and a delight throughout.”

Myra Melford, piano; Ron Miles, cornet; Liberty Ellman, guitar; Stomu Takeishi, electric bass; Rudy Royston, drums

$15 General Admission, $10 Students and Seniors. Also available at People's Records, Wildwood Music, Wildberries, and The Works.
