It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Re: It's Dorothy.

It's a fairly early Dorothy, isn't it? I got a 10"lp and a 12" but I didn't want to listen to them (if I could get at them). Beryl Booker was a little primitive, all self-taught and couldn't read music at all. I have a Hazel Scott lp also but she was kind of pianistic because of her background. She looked great and can sing also. Truthfully, I never did dig the chick piano players because most of them sounded ladyish. Barabara Carroll was another one. They all used to play at the Embers in NYC. Marion M. and the whole crowd. That's where I first heard Marion. It was interesting to hear that piano thing but I did get a feeling it was a female..

Now you can't tell the difference by gender in fact I think the women might have an edge over the last few years.

I hope you know that I wasn't gender bashing but there weren't many women that were playing jazz in my "heyday".
