Saxophonist Dan White joins guitarist Charlie Hunter and drummer Scott Amendola on Mameya, a live trio recording inspired by connection, spontaneity, and exploration. Emerging from White’s work with Kurt Elling and Hunter’s SuperBlue, the album draws on influences including Joshua Redman, Eddie Harris, and Sonny Rollins. Named for a Tokyo coffee shop where White found refuge from jet lag, Mameya unfolds as a mysterious, slow-burning journey.
