MORE INFORMATION
The Jazz at the Athenaeum series concludes on February 2 with the return of Trio M, a collective band co-led by pianist Myra Melford, bassist Mark Dresser, and drummer Matt Wilson. Trio M made its world premiere appearance at the Athenaeum in January 2006 and since has gone on to tour major festivals and jazz venues internationally and to record two acclaimed CDs. All three performers are among today’s leading artists on New Music end of the jazz spectrum. Myra Melford recasts the blues and boogie-woogie of her Chicago hometown, folds in elements of the music of Eastern Europe and India, and blends them with percussive avant-garde stylings. JazzTimes praised “the exquisitely deployed harmonies in her playing and arrangements.” Mark Dresser, Professor of Music at UCSD, has performed and recorded with many of the leading artists in contemporary music and jazz. The New York Times called him, “One of the great instrumental forces in recent American jazz outside of the mainstream.” Matt Wilson has pursued a prismatic career as a drummer, composer and bandleader. The New York Times called him “easily one of the best drummers of his generation.” He has appeared with jazz luminaries such as Lee Konitz, Charlie Haden, Bill Mays, Buster Williams, and Denny Zeitlin.
