Hardbopjazz Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Posted January 10, 2015 I attended. What a great cause to support. What was nice to see, there were many musicians that came to the concert even though they didn't play. In the entire audience the most vociferous person was Annie Ross. When she liked a phrase in someone's solo she wasn't shy to let it be known. Quote
