Ever find yourself killing time in a mall? You might find yourself wandering around some chain store. Used to be that they would always have these dump bins with ridiculously priced cds. And certainly not worth digging through...50 to 1 you find something even remotely interesting.Whoever kept me waiting in this mall, deserves a kiss on the cheek..forever. Sadly I don't remember the girl, but I remember standing in that store and thinking "This looks pretty cool" and buying the disc. Obviously my priorities are skewed.
There is so much old fashioned goodness spread across this disc, it's crazy. How this stuff ends up in dump bins is beyond me.

Thank you hookfinger. I wish there had been more female artists in jazz.
Imazighen you should check out the following female jazz artists: Thelma Terry, Clora Bryant, Melba Liston, Adele Sebastian, Gloria Coleman, Alice Coltrane, Aminia Claudine Myers, Rhoda Scott, Shirley Scott, Barbara Donald, Berryl Booker, Barbara Dennerlein, Vi Redd, Vera Auer, Dorothy Ashby and Kathy Stobart among others
Yes, there a few I'm not very familiar with in this list. Thank you, zeesmd. (Imazighen)
you are welcome. I have a special interest in woman instrumentalists and I also write about jazz so if you want some recommendations you are welcome to email me at zeesmd@gmail.com
Connie Crothers is worth checking out, I think.
Yes definitely. Crothers is a Lennie Tristano disciple but she has taken the music to a more advanced level. Her latest album, a duet with bassist Michael Bisio is really good
Thank you very much Hook - just the brick it was missing in my wall!
Would like to thank you for this. I'm a female jazz musician and it always disheartens me to see how underrepresented we've been. I love this album -- thanks again.
