SUMMARY:Uncharted: Dana Lyn\, Charlie Burnham + Marika Hughes: Songs About Communal Living
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, May 18 \nDoors at 7:30 PM\, Show at 8:00 PM \n$15 \n \n  \nDANA LYN\, CHARLIE BURNHAM + MARIKA HUGHES:\nSongs About Communal Living \nComposer\, violin-viola player and bandleader Dana Lyn’s COVID years were undeniably\, frustratingly productive. “On one hand\, I got a lot of writing done and I tackled some overdue animation work I would never have fit into my schedule otherwise. But as an active musician who is accustomed to and grateful for a full performance life in the city\, I really missed playing with people and being a part of the community of artists that develops when you’re creating new work. As soon as we were able to meet in person\, I reached out to Charlie and Marika to make music together. We’ve been friends for over a decade\, so the project came out of an impulse of recovery.” \nLyn and her bandmates\, cellist Marika Hughes and vocalist-violinist Charlie Burnham\, are all busy and much-in-demand session musicians. Their friendship provided the backbone of this collaboration. “Charlie asked me to write a few duets so we would have some basic structures to play around with\,” Lyn says. “We asked Marika to join us\, which was an organic choice given how much time we spend together\, just as friends. The hunger that I had for community during the pandemic imbues this music with a feeling that any listener could relate to as genuine and heartfelt. We’re not aiming to impress. We play to engage\, firstly with each other and now with our audiences.” \nThis recently-created trio is a step into the spotlight for these superstar side-people. “None of us present as traditionally ‘classical’ musicians\, with all of the baggage and presumption that comes with that label\,” Lyn tells us. “Charlie hails from a blues and jazz background; Marika and I both were classically trained but ditched that path long ago to become improvisors and creative musicians. I wouldn’t classify what I write as ‘new music’ in the classical sense\, and contrary to a lot of contemporary classical music\, I still write melodies and harmonies. I also wrote this music specifically for Charlie and Marika\, to highlight their respective skill sets\, so there is also a great deal of improvisation written into these pieces. I think our notion of a string ensemble is likely to sound different from what many might expect.” \n“For our Uncharted show\, we will be performing a set of my compositions\, mostly written during the pandemic. A few of them are meditations on the weirdly quiet New York City landscape we suddenly found ourselves in\, but most are explorations of reconnection: being closer friends and co-creators\, reclaiming our lives again as social beings and finally back to our roles as live performers. We have plans to record at the end of the summer\, so this will give us a chance to try these songs out in front of an audience\, some for the first time.” \nMulti-instrumentalist and composer Dana Lyn has been commissioned by Brooklyn Rider\, A Far Cry and Palaver Strings and regularly performs with Stew\, actor Vincent D’Onofrio\, and performance artist Taylor Mac. She is a 2020 NYFA Women’s Fund Grant Recipient and a 2021 Sundance Composer Fellow. \nViolinist and singer Charlie Burnham is legendary for his thick\, soulful sound. He has graced albums by James Blood Ulmer\, Living Colour\, Cassandra Wilson\, MTO\, and Medeski Martin & Wood among many others. \nNative New Yorker\, cellist\, singer and storyteller Marika Hughes “makes a joyful noise at the intersection of classical\, jazz and experimental avenues (Mark Corroto\, All About Jazz).” She has worked with Whitney Houston\, Anthony Braxton\, Adele\, Henry Threadgill\, Idina Menzel\, and Taylor Mac. \nAll three are improvisers and active participants in the vibrant Brooklyn musical community. Their respective friendships stretch back for over fifteen years. In 2021\, Lyn\, Burnham and Hughes came together as a string trio when Lyn was inspired to write music that contrasts the frenetic energy of pre-pandemic life with the eerie calm that settled over much of New York City during the spring of 2020.

SUMMARY:Uncharted: Raquel Acevedo Klein and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 12 \nDoors at 7:30 pm\, Show at 8:00pm \n$15\n\n \nWebsite / Instagram / YouTube \nNamed by The Washington Post as one of “2022’s classical composers and performers to watch” and a “force to be reckoned with\,” Raquel Acevedo Klein finds her greatest joy collaborating with an eclectic array of artists. “Much of my work is about audience engagement and musical exploration\,” Acevedo Klein says\, “I’m building stories and songs that are meant to help engage empathy for communities or ideas outside of the listeners’ immediate experience. The desire for that sense of connection often draws me into creative collaboration as a performer\, conductor\, and as a composer. For my Uncharted performance\, I wanted to offer a charcuterie plate of different kinds of music and different sonic approaches in celebration of the community of performers and audience members alike who also embrace that same sort of diversity.” \nFor this showcase\, Acevedo Klein offers insight into her process with a presentation of several new originals. The show begins upon entry with the playing of her introspective vocal symphony “Polyphonic Interlace\,” made from 40 overlapping and glitching layers of Acevedo Klein’s voice\, whispered and boomed by multiple speakers throughout the room and visually scored by a bespoke abstract digital animation by Alex Van Gils. Attendees are encouraged to move around the Greenwich House Music School Recital Hall to find where the song resonates best for them. \nThe evening continues with three dual composition premieres including selections that embrace Puerto Rican and Arabic music. The first is a collaboration with the theatrical raconteur and musical maximalist Sxip Shirey\, who most recently worked with Acevedo Klein at Bard’s Fisher Center for their immersive\, site-specific choral and movement extravaganza The Gauntlet\, co-created with choreographer Coco Karol. Acevedo Klein will then sing a series of composed pieces evoking the traditions of jazz and opera with her longtime teacher Fiona Bicket. The event closes with a mix of live and recorded vocal performance with electronics\, accompanied by the percussionist Nathan Repasz. \nThis concert is particularly meaningful to Acevedo Klein as it represents something of a homecoming. She says\, “Greenwich House Music School is where I performed many of my childhood piano recitals. Coming back with my name on the marquee\, as it were\, is a really special opportunity for me; one that I’m excited to share with my friends both onstage and in the audience.” \nRaquel Acevedo Klein is a conductor\, vocalist\, composer\, instrumentalist\, and visual artist. Acevedo Klein has premiered works and operas by Philip Glass\, Caroline Shaw\, John Adams\, Nico Muhly\, Paola Prestini\, Bryce Dessner\, and George Lewis\, to name only a few. She has recorded and performed with dozens of artists\, including Anthony Roth Costanzo\, Glen Hansard\, Arcade Fire\, Bon Iver\, The National\, Grizzly Bear\, Sufjan Stevens\, and the New York Philharmonic. In 2021\, as part of the NY PopsUp initiative\, Acevedo Klein curated a four-week festival entitled NYC FREE\, celebrating the opening of the Pier 55 public park\, Little Island. As part of that festival\, she premiered her original\, audience-interactive vocal symphony “Polyphonic Interlace\,” made from 40 recorded layers of her voice that audiences could accompany using their phones. Some of the other highlights of Acevedo Klein’s live music history include vocal and instrumental performances at Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln Center\, Radio City Music Hall\, The Town Hall\, BAM\, St. Ann’s Warehouse\, the Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival\, the NYC Guggenheim\, Rockefeller Center\, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon\, WNYC\, National Sawdust\, and Bard Fisher Center. She counts the Grammy Award-winning Brooklyn Youth Chorus\, Beth Morrison Projects\, and the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra as among the many groups and orchestras that she conducts for.  Over the course of her young career\, Acevedo Klein’s performances and curations have already caught the attention of The New York Times\, The New Yorker\, The Los Angeles Times\, The Washington Post\, Time Out New York\, The Wire\, and Hyperallergic. \n

SUMMARY:Uncharted: Val-Inc aka Val Jeanty
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 5 \nDoors at 7:30 pm\, Show at 8:00pm \n$20\n \n  \nSoundcloud / Instagram \nVal-Inc aka Val Jeanty \nEvoking Prayers: Soundscapes \nAn accomplished musician and academic whose creative work has been exhibited in major museums and staged at concert halls around the globe\, the artist Val Jeanty\, also known as Val-Inc\, creates musical performance art that engages timeless beats sourced from her Haitian roots with the same ease as it accesses contemporary experimental electronic composition. Following a recent glowingly received set at Big Ears\, a residency at Roulette Intermedium\, and a Toulmin Fellowship\, Jeanty continues to evolve and refine her sound. Tonight’s multimedia event as part of Greenwich House Music School’s Uncharted series finds her in a typically expansive and empathic mode\, responding to our current dramatic moment of global conflict. \n“I had initially planned a dance-oriented piece for this performance\,” says Jeanty\, “but the ongoing global wars and recent crisis in Haiti have deeply shifted my perspective. I felt the need to adjust my plans to better cope both artistically and personally.” Her revised soundscape\, Evoking Prayers\, is the premiere of Val’s newest solo work\, performed simultaneously with electronic instrumentations including a Korg Wavedrum\, a Kaossilator Pro\, the Roland Handsonic\, Sunhouse’s Sensory percussion drums with reverie kit and a RaneONE turntable. Jeanty tells us\, “Evoking Prayers focuses on peace and healing for myself\, our audience and the world.” \nBIO \nVal Jeanty\, also known as Val-Inc is a Haitian electronic music composer\, drummer/turntablist\, and professor at Berklee College of Music. Jeanty is a pioneer of the electronic music sub-genre called Afro-Electronica (also called “Vodou-Electro”)\, incorporating Haitian folkloric culture with digital instrumentations. She uses technology to lead listeners into her dream-like expressionism of Afro-Electronica Soundscapes. Jeanty’s performances include The Whitney Museum\, The Museum of Modern Art and internationally at The Venice Biennale\, Saalfelden in Austria and Haus der Kulturen in Berlin.  She is the recipient of various grants including the Van Lier Fellow in 2018\, the New York State Council of the Arts/ New Music USA grant in 2019 and the Toulmin Fellowship in 2022.

SUMMARY:Mike Holober & Balancing Act: Don't Let Go (Record release; Sunnyside Records)
DESCRIPTION:“Don’t Let Go” is a Chamber Music America New Jazz Works commission (funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation) for jazz octet with voice. Structured as a song-cycle in the tradition of Robert Schumann\, Samuel Barber\, and Ralph Vaughn-Williams\, this concert-length project explores the nuances and complexities of the concept of “hope” in the context of current social\, political\, and environmental realities. \nFeaturing: Jamile (voice)\, Marvin Stamm (trumpet)\, Dick Oatts (reeds)\, Jason Rigby (reeds)\, Mark Patterson (trombone)\, Mike Holober (piano/composer)\, Mike McGuirk (bass)\, Dennis Mackrel (drums) \nThis concert is best experienced in person. BUY TICKETS HERE.\nIf you can’t make it\, LIVESTREAM TICKETS are available (donation required) \n\n\n\nIt’s an appropriate name for a Holober-led band; in many ways\, Holober’s management of his many musical inspirations is a balancing act. On one hand\, much of what he’s best known for is his work with larger ensembles like the WDR Big Band\, the HR Big Band\, and the Gotham Jazz Orchestra\, whose latest work with Holober at the helm\, Hiding Out\, earned a 2020 GRAMMY® nomination. On the other\, there’s the magnetism of even greater self-actualization\, of writing for and leading a smaller group. \n“After focusing on big band work for so long\,” Holober says\, “Balancing Act exists to satisfy my needs to write for and lead a smaller group again and make a completely personal statement\, where the fruits of the collective are matched with band leadership and personal artistic goals.” \nBut the balancing isn’t just finding the sweet spot between large groups and small; it’s also about striking the balance between Holober’s classical and jazz impulses. Don’t Let Go is a 14-part song-cycle divided into two sets — one for each of the album’s two discs — recorded in October 2019 at Aaron Davis Hall on the campus of the City College of New York\, where Holober has taught since 1995. The work is intended to be heard in the order presented\, much like the song-cycles of classical influences like Robert Schumann\, Samuel Barber\, and Ralph Vaughan Williams. \nOf course\, when the roster of sidemen is composed of Marvin Stamm (trumpet and flugelhorn)\, Dick Oatts (alto and soprano sax\, flute)\, Jason Rigby (tenor sax\, clarinet\, bass clarinet)\, Mark Patterson (trombone)\, Mike McGuirk (bass)\, and Dennis Mackrel (drums)\, one knows there’ll be no scarcity of jazz-rooted improvisation. The presence of Brazilian vocalist Jamile only enhances the group’s expressive palette and dynamic interplay. \nRhapsodic in nature\, Don’t Let Go’s structure and presentation will appeal to listeners across the musical spectrum. At times it presents like classical-inspired jazz; at other times like jazz-inspired classical. That’s by design. Holober formed Balancing Act in 2015\, with its eponymous premiere recording landing on many jazz critics’ “best of” yearly roundup lists. In 2017\, Holober sought (and won) a commission from Chamber Music America’s New Jazz Works program to create Don’t Let Go because\, as he puts it\, he’s drawn to “contrasting elements and ideas\, mixing styles\, grooves\, and influences from diverse jazz and classical languages.” \nSo then\, it’s no surprise he utilizes the talents of vocalist Jamile in a manner slightly unconventional. “Although some of the music contains lyrics\,” explains Holober\, “Balancing Act is not designed as a singer’s showcase. I employ voice as another frontline instrument\, often singing wordless notes.” \nThis is why Holober describes Balancing Act as “a jazz octet with voice.” Listen to set-one’s “Four-Letter Words\,” “Kiss the Ground\,” and\, especially\, “A Summer Midnight’s Dream” and “Morning Hope” to get a sense for the diversity of contexts in which Jamile’s expansive musicality is employed. When she’s not featured out front\, bringing Holober-penned lyrics to life\, she’s not on break; whether it’s scatting improvisationally or wordlessly vocalizing lines typically not meant for voice\, Jamile is utilized as another piece of the octet’s instrumentation\, adding texture and color. \nHolober says the spiritual impetus for Don’t Let Go was born from his desire to “explore the concept of ‘hope’ in the context of current social\, political\, and environmental realities.” This hope is manifested in the way he’s chosen to present this program—pieces that are individually self-sufficient but inextricably bound to their musical companions and maximally effective\, both emotionally and musically\, when presented as a unit. This governing principle applies not just to the whole but to the parts themselves\, the individual songs of the cycle. \n“Necessary\,” the closer of the first set\, speaks well to Holober’s commitment to exposing the connection and striking the balance between the individual and the collective\, with sparkling individual displays by Rigby and Patterson giving way to section playing of the highest precision. \n“I Wonder\,” the second set’s opener\, continues Holober’s exploration in duality and contrasts\, opening with an atmospheric solo piano prologue before showcasing the rhythm section (plus Jamile) as a swaggering quartet punctuated by concentrated bursts of horn support. The horns are foregrounded once more in “You’re a Long Way from Home\,” but it’s not necessary to keep score. Whether it’s Holober with a jaunty\, bouncy solo (“Touch the Sky”)\, Oatts piercing through a bossa nova-induced reverie on soprano sax (“Letting Go”)\, or Jamile and Stamm trading star-turns on a melodic\, theatrical ballad (“You Never Know”)\, every one of these talented musicians gets their just due here. \nThe title track and closer serves as the spiritual anthem for this concert-length suite. No mere suggestion\, this is a musical imperative\, at once uplifting and defiantly optimistic. Crafted specifically in these times and for these times and speaking to both head and heart\, this song cycle lends credence to Downbeat’s assessment of Holober as “one of the finest modern composer/arrangers of our time.” \nLydia Liebman Promotions

SUMMARY:Uncharted: Alea
DESCRIPTION:Alea \nThursday\, April 28 \nDoors at 7:30 pm\, Show at 8:00pm \n$15\n\n \nWebsite / Instagram / YouTube \nThe Colombian-born\, New York-based singer-songwriter Alea’s most recent album\, 2021’s Alborotá\, was shortlisted as among the Best Latin Music of the year by both Rolling Stone and NPR. That acclaim was especially meaningful for an artist whose songs blossom from a personal place. “The ideas for Alborotá came out of an intimate exploration of my own roots\,” Alea says. “I wanted to write about topics that are integral to my experience as a Latina and as an artist: feminism\, pride of self\, fear of failure\, immigration\, abuse and harassment. Translating the expression of this album into a fully-considered live event should be more than going through a setlist. I want this concert at Uncharted to give the audience the same feelings of excitement and release that making Alborotá instilled in me.” \nFor this premiere presentation of “Vivir Alborotá” at Uncharted\, Alea will be integrating the tracks from her acclaimed album alongside pre-pandemic tunes and new\, never-before-heard songs\, all with an emphasis on stylistic diversity.  Alea tells us that she “was brought up with exposure to a lot of different music; my parents would play salsa\, cumbia\, jazz and blues around the house. Today that music still excites me\, but I’m also engaged by the broader history of Latin American folklore\, so you’ll hear the influence of vallenato\, Afro-Caribbean\, ranchera\, porro and currulao. I’m interested in merging the breadth of those sounds with modern Latin Alternative\, both in service of original tracks I’ve written and for unique arrangements of traditional classics. A vital part of that tradition is dance and audience participation\, so that’s the direction I’m evolving into as a performer. There’s vulnerability in exploring your passions and beautiful things can flow out of that.” \nGreenwich House Music School’s Uncharted Series prides itself on providing a platform for engaging exactly that sort of vulnerable creative exploration. “With arts closures and funding restrictions\, it is harder to perform to a live audience\, which I feel is one of my strengths as an artist\,” Alea tells us. “The staff at Uncharted have gone out of their way to provide the resources that this work requires\, including time for rehearsals\, coordinating musician schedules\, free marketing engagement and hands-on professional production and tech. That support allows time for us to prepare and practice something that can have broader aspirations. It’s an asset that I generally don’t have at this stage of my career.” \nPandemic closures necessarily limited Alea’s ability to workshop the album live. She tells us that “COVID has been a hard phase to navigate. It’s made me question the nature of what I do entirely. Fortunately\, music as an art form lasts beyond the musician themselves. I have been humbled and heartened to hear how my work has continued to impact people over the past two years. Even so\, I’ve missed the stage terribly. So\, from now on\, there will be no holding back; I’m ready to bring it all in.” \nAlea’s band for the evening will include Juancho Herrera (guitar\, bass\, vocals)\, Franco Pinna (drums)\, Berta Moreno (saxophone\, clarinet) and George Sáenz (accordion)\, along with dancers Argelia Arreola and Maricarmen Betancour and her Alborotá producer and regular collaborator Sinuhé Padilla Isunza as Music Director. “We are a big family\,” Alea says\, “and we look forward to having your family join ours.” \nWith a welcoming sound that embraces cumbia\, vallenato\, rancheras\, jazz and American pop\, the singer-songwriter Maria Alejandra Jiménez aka Alea moves her audiences with messages of the spirit\, calls for social change and free-flowing love. Originally from La Guajira\, Colombia\, Alea’s performance encompasses an entire generation of ethno-futuristic and folkloric music accentuated by buttery vocals\, deep-rooted grooves and uplifting guitar. Alea’s in-person performances are powerful encounters of the spirit\, passionate travelogues that link downtown New York to a tropical Colombian cantina. They are celebrations of Latin America and new definitions of what “Latin Alternative” can be. \nHer latest album\, 2021’s Alborotá\, was favorably reviewed by Rolling Stones\, NPR\, SongLines Magazine\, El Espectador\, La W Radio\, Shock\, Radio Nacional de Colombia\, Jazziz Magazine\, NTN Tenemos Que Hablar\, and was added to NPR World Café’s “The World Café Best New Latinx” Playlist. \nAlea is a graduate with a focus in Jazz Composition and Performance from Berklee College of Music in Boston and a finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition. She has performed extensively in concert (and online during the pandemic) at Two River Theatre (New Jersey)\, Listen to Womxn Online Fest (Worldwide)\, Saldremos Adelante Fest (Worldwide)\, Joe’s Pub (NYC)\, Kimmel Center’s La Noche (PA)\, Musikfest (PA)\, Tito Puente Latin Music Series (Boston)\, The International Literature and Culture Fest (Medellín\, Colombia) and Worcester Mechanics Hall (Worcester\, MA). Alea has shared the stage with such Grammy-award winning artists as Mireya Ramos (Flor de Toloache)\, Smarty (Burkina Faso)\, Totó La Momposina\, Nella Rojas\, and Sergio Mendoza (Los Hijos de La Montaña y Orkesta Mendoza). \n

SUMMARY:Uncharted: Michael Mayo
DESCRIPTION:Michael Mayo \nThursday\, April 14 \nDoors at 7:30 pm\, Show at 8:00pm \n$15\n \nWebsite / Instagram / YouTube / Facebook \nWhether Michael Mayo is performing with his band\, as a guest\, or alone with a looper pedal\, the LA native’s commanding and otherworldly vocalese is quickly gathering critical and commercial acclaim around the globe. Born to two successful musicians\, Mayo grew up just a little more than 20 feet from the likes of Diana Ross\, Luther Vandross\, Earth Wind and Fire\, and Stevie Wonder. This proximity helped Mayo create a musical path centered around elements of R&B\, Soul and Jazz\, forging his musical identity long before he hit the stage. Mayo attended the acclaimed Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance\, only the third vocalist to be accepted into the 20-year-old program\, where he learned from the likes of Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock. \nNow living in Brooklyn\, and still in his 20s\, Mayo is a veteran international performer whose highlights include singing at the White House\, the Kennedy Center and Renée Fleming’s American Voices Festival\, as well as the Panama Jazz Festival. Most recently he has recorded and performed with Herbie Hancock\, Jacob Collier\, Kneebody\, Gretchen Parlato\, Josh Groban\, Ben Wendel\, and Becca Stevens among many others. His own band performance was a standout at the 2019 Playboy Jazz Festival\, Atlanta Jazz Festival\, and Monterey Jazz Festival. Signed to Mack Avenue/Artistry Records\, Mayo’s debut record Bones\, produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Eli Wolf (Norah Jones\, Al Green\, The Roots) was released on June 4th\, 2021. \nFor his solo Uncharted performance on April 14\, the versatile performer will present the debut of a new electroacoustic set\, expanding his use of live vocal looping\, keys\, programming\, samples and drum machine. Mayo will be taking advantage of Greenwich House Music School’s warm acoustics and intimate space to take some risks\, explore his boundaries and show off his skills as a producer\, composer and performer.

SUMMARY:Uncharted: Adi Meyerson Trio
DESCRIPTION:ADI MEYERSON: Dark Matter\n \nThursday\, April 7 \nDoors at 7:30 pm\, Show at 8:00pm \n$15 \n \nWebsite / Instagram / YouTube / Facebook \nWith the recent release of her sharply realized\, thematically varied and gently psychedelic sophomore album\, I Want to Sing My Heart Out in Praise of Life\, the bassist and composer Adi Meyerson had only just announced herself as one of the brightest voices of the modern generation of jazz. Then COVID happened. “We certainly weren’t able to tour\,” Meyerson says\, “but I think that in coming out of it\, I’ve gained a sense of direction and hopefully a better understanding of who I am as an artist. I’ve started thinking about what I can leave behind as my legacy.” The next step toward the building of that legacy starts with her newest project\, Dark Matter\, premiering April 7 at the Greenwich House Music School Uncharted concert and residency series. \n“Dark Matter is an idea that has been brewing for quite a while\,” Meyerson tells us. “I have been engaged in more complex productions for several years; now I want to strip my orchestration down and channel it through an acoustic trio. The band’s instrumentation will be bass\, drums and alto saxophone\, with the occasional addition of a spoken word collaborator.” \n“The music is composed as a kind of space and time travelogue\, creating tension and exhalation in silence and cacophony. As a continuation of Sing My Heart Out\, the intention with Dark Matter is to offer the listener a place for calm reflection on our immediate moment through the synthesis of lyricism and more abstract sound. Stylistically\, I’m exploring the boundaries of free jazz\, while still making room for structured vocals.” \nAs the improvisatory nature of Meyerson’s new work will require considerable tinkering\, she is particularly happy to be supported by Uncharted’s residency program\, which offers paid rehearsal time\, free rehearsal space and extensive technical and professional support.  Meyerson says\, “I expect this project will continue well beyond this show but\, without a proper launchpad\, it’s hard to imagine how we would begin. Having a welcoming facility is incredibly important in the process of creating a work that\, by design\, has to spring out of experimentation. I’m grateful to Greenwich House for providing that support. They’re a great community and I’m honored to be a part of it.” \nAdi Meyerson is an Israeli-raised and NYC—based bassist\, composer\, arranger\, and educator. Meyerson moved to New York City to study music in 2012. Since then\, she has played in such highly renowned local venues as Mezzrow\, Smalls\, The Jazz Standard\, Smoke\, and more alongside artists including Joel Frahm\, Joe Magnarelli\, Steve Nelson\, Charli Persip\, SEENA\, Verite\, The Side Project\, Fielded\, MUMU\, Melissa McMillan\, Camile Trust\, Doe Paoro\, Kimbra\, and many more. Meyerson is a member of the pop chamber orchestra Little Kruta and has recorded and performed with them on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon\, as part of The Hum Series at National Sawdust\, and at many other venues around NYC. In September 2017\, her band recorded their debut record\, Where We Stand\, containing nine of her original compositions. Meyerson’s music was referred to as “Intuitive and perspicacious… display(ing) a musical maturity that belies her newcomer status\,” by Downbeat Magazine.
