o10, for your interest in current women in jazz, would you say Melody Gardot belongs on that list?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKDj-OVJ6hcAlso your watering hole story about Ferguson was not surprising if it was toward the end of his life.  How...

frog, I heard "Rhapsody In Blue" a short time ago by my new "local" orchestra, the Kalamazoo Symphony (which is much better than expected for a smaller community organization).  The guest pianist was Kevin Cole and it was an energetic and delightf...
