Pre-order price on Amazon is $68.38, so $46 is probably it.  Hard pass for me at that price.

Talk about C.G. Jung's synchronicity. I was at a bar last night with friends for a drink and Eagle Eye’s Save the Night came on…cheers! Then later, we walked over to Barnes and Noble right by the restaurant we were at, and I came across Nenah Cherry’s Memoir, and of course I raced over to the chapter on Don. WOW. Within 5 minutes, she talks about her brother, Eagle Eye. Now that’s synchronicity!

Weird, think it's a statue, but maybe his wife, Moci, but not to get to weird about it, she was white, so I don't know.

Nenah did say this in the chapter about her dad, where she thought this album sleeve embodied everything about jazz to her; she really dug her dad in shades in this picture...I do too:
