MYERS, AMINA CLAUDINE - SOLACE OF MIND (CD)

Solace of the Mind is a profoundly lyrical solo album from pianist, organist, vocalist, and newly minted NEA Jazz Master Amina Claudine Myers. This extraordinary recording - a follow up to her critically acclaimed duo with Wadada Leo Smith, Central Park's Mosaic of Reservoir, Lake, Paths and Gardens released via Red Hook last May - stands as a testament to the uncompromising vision of a seasoned leader in creative music who has traced a remarkable path from her beginnings in Arkansas church choirs to the forefronts of the music scene.
