Line up
Melissa Aldana (sax)
Pablo Menares (bass)
Kush Abadey (drums)
Sam Harris (piano)
Melissa Aldana was born in Santiago, Chile in 1988 and began playing the saxophone at the age of six under the influence of her father; she started on alto, then later switched to tenor sax. Aldana graduated from Berklee in 2009 and moved to New York City to study with George Coleman. In 2012, Aldana formed a band, "Melissa Aldana & Crash Trio," with Cuban drummer Francisco Mela and Chilean bassist Pablo Menares. In July 2014, this band released its debut album on Concord Jazz, which was part of Aldana's prize for winning the Thelonious Monk Award. In March 2016, the group released their second album titled "Back Home", on which the drummer Mela was replaced by Jochen Rueckert. On her latest album, "Visions," Aldana combines her work with the legacy of Latina artists who have preceded her. Inspired by the life and work of Frida Kahlo, Aldana creates a parallel between her experiences as a saxophone player in a male-dominated community and Kahlo's experiences as a visual artist trying to assert herself in a male-dominated landscape.
