Don Dixon

Myra Melford (ENCORE).

Pianist and composer Myra Melford draws inspiration from literature, architecture, and visual art—finding creative sparks in the works of James Joyce, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Joan Miró. This episode explores the many facets of her artistry, from the egalitarian interplay of Trio M (with bassist Mark Dresser and drummer Matt Wilson) to the boundless expression of her Snowy Egret quintet. We’ll also hear Melford in a Big Band setting, joining forces with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.
