"Celebrating the life-giving power of light, the
Lux Quartet
is an exploratory new quartet co-led by two of the most celebrated and visionary artists in modern improvised music: pianist
Myra Melford
and drummer
Allison Miller
. Drawing on a shared passion for the preservation of nature and a boundary-stretching approach to music, the two innovative composers and bandleaders are joined by saxophonist
Dayna Stephens
and bassist
Scott Colley
, together crafting a sonic environment that glows with its own intense yet nurturing radiance. Melford and Miller have long embraced the natural world in their individual work. Melford often combines her passion for the outdoors with poetic and philosophical imagery in bands like
Snowy Egret
,
Fire and Water
, or
The Same River, Twice
. Miller's captivating work
Rivers in Our Veins
is a multi-media journey into the cultural and ecological life of rivers. The two have worked together for several years in the drummer's ensemble
Boom Tic Boom
, a recent touring version of which also featured Stephens and Colley. Both musicians are renowned for incisive playing across the entirety of the jazz spectrum. The saxophonist has worked with
Kenny Barron
,
Ambrose Akinmusire
,
Julian Lage
, and
Gerald Clayton
, among others; while Colley is a deeply respected bassist who has enjoyed extensive collaborations with
Joshua Redman
,
John Scofield
,
Herbie Hancock
, and
Chris Potter
to name a few. The quartet developed such profound chemistry that it evolved into its own singular entity. The name Lux Quartet was inspired by the role of light in the panoply of life on Earth, from the vitality of the sun's ray to the bioluminescence of creatures in the deepest oceans - a suggestive indication of the heights and depths that the band endeavors to explore."
