GRAMMY-nominated saxophonist/composer Melissa Aldana performs music from her newest Blue Note release, Echoes of the Inner Prophet-- an introspective yet collaborative exploration of self-discovery, intuition, and artistic evolution.
Jan 21, 2026, 7:30 PM – 10:30 PM
Sam First, 6171 W Century Blvd #180, Los Angeles, CA 90045, USA
Melissa Aldana (tenor saxophone), Glenn Zaleski (piano), Pablo Menares (bass), Kush Abadey (drums)
This show is made possible through a generous “Music in Action” grant from the Live Music Society, which works to recognize and protect small venues and listening rooms across the United States so that live music can remain accessible to all.
A fascinating paradox defines Echoes Of The Inner Prophet, Melissa Aldana’s follow-up to her acclaimed Blue Note Records debut as a leader, 2022’s 12 Stars. As the GRAMMY-nominated saxophonist and composer explains, her new album reflects her “personal journey, with an especially introspective point of view. The inner prophet is my own self, now older, who has the knowledge and the intuition and the truth about what my path should be.
“So it’s this idea of connecting with that inner prophet,” she continues, “which reveals things about myself, including those things I don’t like.”
