The presentation of Myra Melford’s Be Bread has been made possible with support from Chamber Music America’s Presenting Jazz Program, funded through the generosity of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.

Capping a week-long Cornish College residency, the remarkable electro-acoustic ensemble Myra Melford Be Bread cleverly draws upon a myriad of influences, including the Hindustani forms that Melford studied in India. Joining her is an all-star lineup of instrumental heavy hitters: trumpet ace Cuong Vu, bassist-like-no-other Stomu Takeishi, drummer Matt Wilson, clarinetist Ben Goldberg, and the towering guitarist Brandon Ross. Their first CD, The Image of Your Body, was released on Cryptogramophone, in 2006. The band is now performing the music from their upcoming CE release and 2004 CMA/New Works Presentation commission “The Whole Place Goes Up.”

Masterclass with Be Bread / Fri, Oct 23, 2009, noon / PONCHO Hall, Cornish College of the Arts / Free and open to the public.

Presented in association with Cornish College of the Arts.
