Myra Melford Splash Trio
October 25 @ 8:00 pm
This performance is presented by Infidels Jazz, with the support of the VJO Society.
Legendary Jazz pianist Myra Melford returns to Vancouver for the first time in 7 years, along with Michael Formanek & Ches Smith
Splash is an adventurous new trio led by visionary pianist/composer Myra Melford, featuring bassist Michael Formanek and drummer/vibraphonist Ches Smith. The project is the latest installment of Melford’s ongoing body of work inspired by and engaging with the work of the American post-abstract expressionist painter Cy Twombly. The bold, sudden action implicit in the trio’s name reflects the energy and motion captured on Twombly’s canvases, a physicality that drives Melford’s exploratory music.
On October 25, Myra will be bringing this trio to Vancouver for the first time, her first Vancouver performance in 7 years.
This performance is presented by Infidels Jazz and is part of VanJazz 2026.
