MELANIE CHARLES LIVE IN LA

We're thrilled to announce that the incredible @ melaniecharlesisdflower with @ignabu & @baesef_lateef will be gracing the #JazzIsDead stage on September 22nd at the @lodgeroom! Presented by @artdontsleep. Tickets on sale now at jazzisdead.com 🎷 ☠️ Melanie Charles with Ignabu and Paul Wilson Bae is a collective of 3 New York Natives who came together in 2019 to record a rehearsal for a performance at the 41st annual Wall to Wall concert series at Symphony Space, spotlighting all things Rev John Coltrane. The trio curated a body of work exploring his legacy via found footage, interviews and samples of his contemporaries to create a 4 movement ceremony. The pre-pandemic concert and recording coincided with the untimely passing of prolific drummer Lawrece Leathers setting a tone of reverence for the musicians that tirelessly explored the possibilities of this music. The recording was never intended to be released to the public but as time has gone by, this musical artifact serves as a conversation with our musical ancestors while discovering new modes. #melaniecharles
