!!! new album “Tomorrowland“ out on Enja Records !!!
“Tomorrowland sets a new standard for twenty-first century free jazz and post-bop.” — The Big Takeover
Lux Quartet, co-led by pianist Myra Melford and drummer Allison Miller, is proud to present its eponymous debut: a glowing musical encounter with Dayna Stephens (saxophones) and Scott Colley (bass). The program features original compositions by all four band members, exploring philosophical and spiritual themes through the language of jazz. The name Lux Quartet was inspired by the role of light in the diversity of life on Earth, from the vitality of the sun’s rays to the bioluminescence of creatures in the deepest oceans—a suggestive reference to the heights and depths the band seeks to explore. The sound resulting from this combination of players is, according to Melford, “like throwing a spark at tinder—everything immediately bursts into flames.”
