Justin V Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I wondered what had become of her. She definitely held her own among the stellar musicians on Burning Spirits. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 One of the most compelling, strongest voices of her time, imo. RIP indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Huh, I had actually assumed she was already gone - which is embarrassing. She was a monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romualdo Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 That's sad - RIP Barbara Have just finished reading "Always In Trouble" Oral Hx of ESP-Disk by Jason Weiss She wasn't interviewed for the book but is mentioned a few times by Sonny Simmons & James Zitro (who I noticed has just become an organissimo member in the last week or so) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utevsky Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 She was awesome. A really spirited player. It's too bad she never got much exposure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 She was a fine musician. Sorry to hear of her passing. Wondering if you're the fellow who wrote for Cadence. If you are, or if you're not, welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
