Cuban drummer FRANCISCO MELA (Joe Lovano, McCoy Tyner, Chucho
Valdés) will return to Greenwich Village's Cornelia Street Café to
lead his ensemble, The CRASH TRIO + One, for a one-night performance.
Joining him that evening will be Tony Malaby (tenor sax), Leo Genovese
(piano), and Gerald Cannon (bass).Earlier this year, Mela played to
sold out audiences at Smalls and The Cornelia Street Café and is
eager to return to the venue with his ensemble. His upcoming
performance will showcase new music and selections from his most
recent release, FE that features The Crash Trio (Mela, drums;
Gerald Cannon, bass; and Leo Genovese, piano; with special guest,
guitarist John Scofield). Mela assembled the trio to celebrate the
life's work of one of his mentors, legendary pianist, and
composer, McCoy Tyner. The recording marks an important point in
Mela's career as it recounts some of his experiences playing with
various musicians who have dramatically influenced his musical
development. The album is also dedicated to the memory of his late
parents.
