SUMMARY:Myra Melford Splash Trio
DESCRIPTION:This performance is presented by Infidels Jazz\, with the support of the VJO Society. \n\n\n\nLegendary Jazz pianist Myra Melford returns to Vancouver for the first time in 7 years\, along with Michael Formanek & Ches Smith \n\n\n\nSplash 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. \n\n\n\nOn October 25\, Myra will be bringing this trio to Vancouver for the first time\, her first Vancouver performance in 7 years. \n\n\n\nThis performance is presented by Infidels Jazz and is part of VanJazz 2026.
