This great album is on the Innova record label. Is this a "dream team" or what? Listen to it.

Myra Melford Live in San Francisco, 2006...

I've never made a secret of the fact that I love the music of Myra Melford. I've gone as far as to suggest that if every musical artist were to put out a recording on the same day and I had only enough money to buy one, I'd buy Myra Melford's. I've also gone as far as to say that if my house was on fire and my family was safe, this is the CD I'd go in to get (so, I guess, that makes it my favouite album of all time):



So, naturally, when I was handed the opportunity to post a Myra Melford concert, I jumped at the chance.

The concert took place Saturday, November 4, 2006 at the Florence Gould Theatre, Legion Of Honor in San Francisco, CA. The amazing lineup was: Myra Melford (piano, harmonium); Cuong Vu (trumpet); Ben Goldberg (clarinets); Alex Cline (drums); Stomu Takeishi (bass). The playlist goes like this:

1. Intro, band introductions, Stomu plugs in

2. Made It Out

3. Equal Grace

4. The Whole Tree Gone

5. A Generation Comes and Another Goes

6. Through the Same Gate
7. The Whole Place Goes Up

8. Moon Bird

9. Night

10. Knocking from the Inside

11. Myra solo encore

Enjoy!
