Perth International Jazz Festival is thrilled to welcome the dynamic and creative collaboration between vocalist and flautist Melanie Charles, Ignabu (drums) and Paul Wilson Bae (piano) 🎙️🥁🎹✨
Brooklyn-born vocalist and flautist Melanie Charles has built her reputation as a fearless, genre-bending artist who seamlessly fuses jazz, soul, and R’n’B. Her collaborations span legends and innovators alike… from Wynton Marsalis and The Roots to Gorillaz and SZA.
🗽 Alongside New York contemporaries Ignabu (drums) and Paul Wilson Bae (piano), Charles brings a powerful project first conceived in 2019 for the renowned Wall to Wall: John Coltrane concert series in NYC.
Together, the trio weave a four-movement ceremony honouring Coltrane’s legacy, blending found footage, archival interviews, and contemporary expression into a deeply moving exploration of music, memory, and reverence. Born out of grief following the loss of drummer Lawrence Leathers, this work has become more than performance: it’s a living conversation with ancestors, art, and spirit.
Step inside the Liberty Theatre on Barrack Street and be transported into this intimate world of sound, story, and soul.
📆 Wednesday October 29 | 7:30pm - 9.00pm
📍 Liberty Theatre, Barrack St Perth
