CD im Jewelcase Recorded in New York, 1980 with Amina Claudine Myers on piano and voice, Cecil McBee on bass and Jimmy Lovelace on drums. "This is an uncompromising record - one that dictates its terms of acceptance - and yet its pleasures are so immediate, so unmistakenly sensual, that it could appeal to a larger public, given any kind of exposure". CADENCE. A very original pianist who displays her gospel roots when she plays organ or sings, Amina Claudine Myers started studying music when she was seven. She sang with gospel groups in school. After moving to Chicago, Myers taught in the public schools, played with Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt, and joined the AACM. She moved to New York in 1976 (where she would record with Lester Bowie and Muhal Richard Abrams), formed her own group, spent a few years in the early 80s in Europe, and toured with Charlie Hadens Liberation Music Orchestra in 1985. Amina Claudine Myers has recorded a diverse variety of music as a leader for Sweet Earth, Leo, Black Saint, Minor Music, and Novus. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide.
