clifford_thornton Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 According to family posts on Facebook, the vocalist Jay Clayton died on December 31, 2023 at 82. Very interesting artist; I never saw her perform in person, alas, but have long enjoyed her diverse body of recordings. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabshakeh Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 (edited) I don't know her. Where would you start with her recordings? Edited January 2 by Rabshakeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted January 2 Author Report Share Posted January 2 Her voice on Byron Morris' "Blow Thru Your Mind" (specifically the track Kitty Bey) is excellent, not to mention Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians." I also enjoy her Anima LP quite a bit: https://www.discogs.com/release/3230281-Jay-Clayton-All-Out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Dryden Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Voclaist Judy Niemack told me that Jay Clayton was in hospice care for cancer a few weeks ago. Judy also sent me a CD collaboration that she did with Jay Clayton, which was issued near the end of the year: It was likely one of Jay Clayton's last recordings.

clifford_thornton Posted January 3 Author Report Share Posted January 3 I should try that one again -- didn't hit me years ago, but that's probably me rather than the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russes01 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Saw her hers in MPLS about 5 years ago and missed her by one day in NYC with Sheila cause I put it on the wrong day in my calendar (back when you had to keep one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
