New York comes to Bispetorvet for an evening

Melissa Stylianou is one of the younger acts on the New York jazz scene. She is particularly known for her virtuosity as a vocalist and her ability to bridge modern jazz, improvisation, bebop, and Brazilian jazz in her arrangements of jazz standards and original compositions.

She has played with the likes of Matt Wilson, Billy Drewes, Fred Hirsch, and Ben Monder and has performed at venues such as Carnegie Hall, The Blue Note, and Birdland.

Melissa Stylianou had a permanent monthly spot at the famous 55 Bar for over 10 years, where she developed the material for her five albums of which the most recent two were released on Anzic Records.

She was a finalist in Downbeat Magazine's Critics Poll in the Rising Star category and her most recent album No Regrets was listed as one of 2015's top 50 jazz records by JazzTimes Magazine.

For this occasion, Melissa Stylianou has brought her permanent New York pianist Jamie Reynolds, the Canadian bass player Graig Earle, and Janus Templeton, who has roots in Aarhus, on drums.
