Bebop Spoken There

Joanna in New York


Not much happening today - Jam at the Globe was too early for me - then, Flash! Bang! Alakazam! Joanna Wallfisch tweeted details of her forth coming album Gardens in my Mind. 
I think this video, of a track from her new album - Anonymous Journey's - is rather special. 
I met Joanna a couple of times at the Spice of Life in Soho and I'm delighted that she's now well established on the New York scene. The CD is set for release early next year and will, hopefully, be reviewed here.
Lance.
PS: I'm also glad she  remembered me!
