by Myra Melford Trio

Alive in the House of Saints cover art

Recorded live in Germany, this expansive album showcases the pianist and her trio deftly navigating the space between structured hard-bop and furious free improvisation. Her playing marries aggressive, percussive blues influences with sophisticated avant-garde phrasing. The performance firmly established her reputation as a major compositional voice in the 1990s modern creative jazz scene.
