‘In a world ever more consumed with social media and AI, this music is truly handmade’
Chris Searle speaks with drummer DEVIN GRAY of the Melt All The Guns Trio

MELT All the Guns are a revolutionary jazz trio formed by drummer Devin Gray, trumpeter Ralph Alessi and a pianist Myslaure Augustin.
Their music radiates now-times in the US and Berlin, where Gray spends much of his time. I ask him about his life in music and the themes of the trio’s new album, Melt All the Guns 2.
Born in Portland, Maine in 1983, his father a businessman, his mother a health worker, it was his grandfather who set him on the road to jazz.
