This is a home concert in North Berkeley featuring
the wonderful and innovative jazz duo of Melanie O'Reilly, vocals, and Frank Martin, piano. Melanie, from Ireland, is an Albany resident and an international figure in the world of Celtic music and jazz, having performed in venues including Lincoln Center, the Edinburgh International Festival, and the International Cork Jazz Festival. Her unique style has elements of traditional Celtic melodies, American jazz and Brazilian music. Her original compositions are inspired by literary figures, such as James Joyce, and the lyrics of contemporary Irish poets.

Frank Martin on piano is a mainstay of the local music scene, with a formidable roster of performances and recordings with musicians in the jazz and pop worlds, including Sting, Bobby McFerrin, Turtle Island String Quartet, Stevie Wonder, and the world-class Brazilian band of Jose Neto.

Jane Lenoir, flutist, will join the duo on some selections.
This will be an adventure into world fusion music, jazz, Brazilian and Celtic styles.
