Most of the world totally missed out on this amazing human being, and her craft. How sad. Makes me question how God works. I mean, what's the point of depriving people of such amazing artistic merit? You got me, cuz I don't get it at all. She was my baby, and a towering musical prodigy.

Absolutely fantastic! The contrast of her singing and playing and his solo were the cat's meow as they say!

hehe, look at Wyclif Gordon in the 'bones section and Wes, "Warmdaddy with the saxaphone in the sax section, two great players from down South. I sincerely hope Warm daddy is recuping and playing again, he is one of the best! Again,Babka22 very aptly put, well said.

= I think Wyton's solo while great, sort of took the vibe of where Shirley was singing in a different place, not sure I liked that, but I guess that's what jazz players do, they each have their own voice.

babka22,
What you said.... beautiful! Shirley's voice, I found myself holding my breath whenever I listened to her, afraid to breathe. She did take my breath away, her timing, the atmosphere she created. Amazing, did she realize that?

amazing grace, to be precise. wise womanhood (strong, gentle, lovingkindness, surrendered acceptance, transcended grief & benediction) accompanied by the energy of youth and manhood....the very distinction between piano and trumpet.
