SUMMARY:Song Form // Less: Amina Claudine Myers // Peggy Lee
DESCRIPTION:Throughout her six-decade musical journey\, pianist\, organist\, vocalist\, and newly minted NEA Jazz Master Amina Claudine Myers has consistently defied conventional boundaries while drawing from her rich roots in Baptist and Methodist church music\, gospel\, and rhythm and blues. Her album Solace of the Mind is a deeply personal exploration of musical evolution\, and an exceptionally expressive dialogue between tradition and modernity: “this is a musical language distilled to its essence\, with Myers conjuring whole worlds from just a few perfectly chosen notes” (The Wire). \nEqually adept in far-out free improv\, classical rigour\, and the arcing melodic textures of her detailed\, empathic compositions\, cellist/composer Peggy Lee exudes mastery in both quietude and fire. A defining figure of the Vancouver creative music scene since the 1990s\, and currently based in Melbourne\, Peggy Lee builds sound worlds where “melodies slide in and out of abstraction; skewed marches butt up against folk songs; chamber music niceties crumble under the assault of funk and psychedelia” (Georgia Straight). \nSolo sets will be followed by a short duo collaboration and artist talk about form in music\, presented in association with IICSI at the University of British Columbia.
