Since joining Chicago’s Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians in 1966, pianist, organist, vocalist, composer, arranger, and NEA Jazz Master Amina Claudine Myers has engaged with jazz, blues, gospel, soul, and the oral poetic tradition — from church to street, from club to concert hall. At home in tradition or at the vanguard, she’s recorded 16 albums and is credited on hundreds more. In 2024, she joined fellow AACM member Wadada Leo Smith in recording Central Park’s Mosaics of Reservoir, Lake, Paths and Gardens for Red Hook Records, the label run by producer Sun Chung. Solace of the Mind, her second outing for the label, is solo; Myers plays piano and organ and speaks in nine original compositions and a traditional song.
