Jane Bunnet, but over more than one label...

Still trying to figure out what the original purpose of the session was. For broadcast?

I am ambivalent about both her and Lee Wiley.

I'd like to see some suggestions. Already mentioned are Mary Lou Williams, Shirley Scott, and Geri Allen. I'm not fond of either Barbara Carrol or Miriam McPartland, so I would not be excited about those. Amina, maybe, In a parallel universe. We can probably rule out Shirley Scott (too funky and Geri Allen (too modern). That leaves Mary Lou. So, who else you got, Face?
