U.S. jazz pianist Myra Melford will perform in Ho Chi Minh City on Saturday, August 24.

Myra Melford in Black & White will be hosted at Soul Live Project Complex, District 3, at 8 p.m., and will also feature bass player Stomu Takeishi and Rudy Royston.

Melford is described by the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper as an "explosive player, a virtuoso who shocks and soothes, and can make the piano stand up and do things it doesn't seem to have been designed for."

The concert is described as "a unique night of musical contrast, at once delicate and graceful yet equally dynamic and explosive under the autumn moonlight" by the organizer Soul Live Project.
