Description: EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"Life Carries Me This Way" is pianist/composer Myra Melford's first solo piano recording. It features original compositions inspired by the artwork of her friend, the late Sacramento-based artist Don Reich (1931-2010). The project was entirely recorded, mixed, and mastered at Firehouse 12 Studios in New Haven, CT by owner and chief engineer Nick Lloyd. The CD package contains a 16-page booklet that includes full color photographs of Don Reich's artwork as well as notes by Melford and Charles Johnson. Her work has earned Melford some of the highest accolades in her field. In 2013 alone, she was named a Guggenheim Fellow and received the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation's Performing Artist Award and a Doris Duke Residency to Build Demand for the Arts for her efforts to re-imagine the jazz program at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. She was also the winner of the 2012 Alpert Award in the Arts for Music. She has been honored numerous times in DownBeat's Critics Poll since 1991 and was nominated by the Jazz Journalists Association as Pianist of the Year in 2008 and 2009 and Composer of the Year in 2004.

REVIEW
A visionary bandleader with a singularly expansive sound embracing a global array of influences. While she s known for her percussive attack and roiling keyboard technique, Melford is also a deeply
soulful player with a passion for Afro-Caribbean grooves, the blues and classical Hindustani music. --Berkeleyside

A superlative example of how to create and
sustain an emotionally charged mood that
loosely recalls a Coltrane or Dolphy fanfare
without falling into cliché ... her compositional style has its own signature. --Jazzwise Magazine

A fearless pianist and harmonium player. --Nate Chinen, The New York Times
