NEA Jazz Master on Transparent Vinyl LP!

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 in 2024) — stands as a testament to the uncompromising vision of a seasoned leader in creative music.

Throughout her six-decade musical journey, Myers has consistently defied conventional boundaries, drawing from her rich roots in Baptist and Methodist church music, gospel, and rhythm and blues. Solace of the Mind represents a deeply personal exploration of her musical evolution, featuring Myers on piano, Hammond B3 organ, and voice, to create an expressive document steeped in tradition and modernity.

Produced by Red Hook Records founder and former ECM producer Sun Chung, the recording is a masterwork of sonic precision, meticulously rendering every musical nuance with extraordinary fidelity. The recording's stunning clarity not only amplifies the enthralling subtleties of Myers' performance but also creates an immersive soundstage that brings the music's central intimacy into focus.

Available on transparent vinyl.
