Amina Claudine Myers: Piano | Vocals | Organ

Making her long-awaited OTO debut and her first solo show in London for almost 2 decades, we welcome Amina Claudine Myers: an artist whose career has trail-blazed jazz, the avante-garde, blues, classical, gospel, and world music traditions, all the while maintaining a distinctive voice. For this special concert, Myers will survey her extraordinary career and songbook, along with selections from her new solo album on Red Hook Records, in a solo piano, hammond organ and vocal performance. Expect a journey through the past and into the future through reflection, reinterpretation, and renewal of the creative fire and spirit.

Born in Blackwell, Arkansas, Amina Claudine Myers, raised on gospel and blues of the South, quickly earned her musical chops and respect under the tutelage of Muhal Richard Abrams in the 1960s, and shortly became a member of the The Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM). In the late seventies, Myers toured in The Lester Bowie Quintet and The New York Organ Ensemble across Europe, Asia, and the United States, and performed alongside Archie Shepp in an historic performance in Cape Town, South Africa at The North Sea Jazz Festival. Additionally, she has collaborated and performed with the likes of Bill Laswell, Charlie Haden, and James Blood Ulmer, among others.
