Bebop Spoken There

Jennifer Wharton: "People forget that the trombone is so glorious. It can be like going to church, or getting ready for battle. It can be a lot of things....For a longtime I was the only female trombonist in New York," - (DownBeat May 2021)

RIP Natalie Cole.

The death of singer Natalie Cole at the age of 65 has come as a shock to her many fans, not least to myself. Like her dad, she was a class act able to absorb his impeccable taste into her own persona.
Only one word for it - unforgettable.
Natalie Cole left us to join her father yesterday evening.
Sadly missed.
Lance.

Which only leaves her uncle Freddie, aged 84, the last surviving member of this marvelous musical dynasty.

Yes, a gorgeous voice - if I believed in the bible and the afterlife, I'd like to think she will be singing heavenly duets with her velvet voiced father.
