Amina Claudine Myers is an American jazz pianist, organist, vocalist, composer, and arranger. Myers majored in music education at Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Arkansas. After graduation, she moved to Chicago in 1963, where she taught music at an elementary school. She also attended classes at Roosevelt University and worked with musicians such as Sonny Stitt and Gene Ammons. She was one of the performers at the AACM's second concert.[5] In the late 1960s, Myers added "Amina" to her name. In 1976 Myers relocated to New York City,[8] where she intensified her compositional work and expanded it into the realm of Off-Broadway productions. She also continued performing and recording as a pianist and organist. Around 1978 she began touring in Europe with the Lester Bowie Quintet and his New York Organ Ensemble.
