Amina Claudine Myers: Classical Musician in New York

About Amina Claudine Myers

Amina Claudine Myers is an American pianist and organist who also sings, composes, and arranges, moving between classical discipline and the open forms of free jazz and vocal jazz. In New York City she has appeared at Roulette, including Red Hook Records’ fifth-anniversary program alongside Andrew Cyrille, Wadada Leo Smith, and Qasim Naqvi. Her work treats the keyboard as both harmonic engine and percussive instrument, with the voice folded in as an equal line. Her performances favor clarity and structure over spectacle.
