When she
started to feel comfortable with her music and got recognition for it,
she decided to record a first album with Ben Sluys (B) on saxophone,
Gino Lattuca (B) on trumpet, Michel Benita (F) on bass, Jan de Haes (B)
on drums and herself on piano. As this album was successful, it was
followed by another one with the same musicians except Stefan Lievestro
(H) playing bass instead of Michel Benita. The second album also got
very good reviews. The press emphazised especially Myriam's ability for
composing.
So the idea of making an international album occurred. "Alter Ego"
was recorded in New York in 1997 with Billy Drewes (USA) on sax and
clarinet, Ron Miles (USA) on trumpet, Kenny Werner (USA) on piano, Marc
Johnson (USA) on bass and Joey Baron (USA) on drums. While Myriam left
the piano seat to Kenny Werner, the quintet only played Myriam's
compositions.
Then came the time to write music that would really express "who she was". The resulting album was called "If" (2002), a worldwide success, with Dino Saluzzi (bandoneon), John Ruocco (clarinet), Kenny Werner (piano), Greg Cohen (bass) and Joey Baron (drums).
In 2007, come the release of "Where is There" with Jaques Morelenbaum (cello), John Ruocco (clarinet), Pierre Vaiana (soprano sax,), Salvatore Bonafede (piano), Greg Cohen (bass) and Joey Baron (drums). |
