New Melissa Aldana Album ‘Visions’ Available for Pre-Order!

Motema is excited to announce that Melissa Aldana’s new album Visions is now available for pre-order!

On her first jazz quartet album Visions, award-winning saxophonist Melissa Aldana connects her work to the legacy of Latina artists who have come before her, creating a pathway for her own expression. Inspired by the life and works of Frida Kahlo, Aldana creates a parallel between her experiences as a female saxophone player in a male-dominated community and Kahlo’s experiences as a female visual artist working to assert herself in a landscape dominated by men. On her first jazz quartet recording, Aldana adds a new dimension to her sound, resulting in a transformative movement of expression and self-identity.

Be sure to check out the album release at The Jazz Standard on May 23rd-25th!
