Unknown Female Musicians

[Hot Ptah]

I am impressed with drummer Kim Thompson, who has performed and recorded with Kenny Barron. She is a powerful, swinging drummer.

Shirley Rogers was a very good piano player in San Francisco in 1966. She left to get married in Georgia.

Pianist/Vocalist, Patti Wicks.

Residing in Florida, but back in the 70's, she frequently performed with bassist Sam Jones, others and performed at Gregory's and other restaurants/jazz club in and around NYC.

Brownie: a bit late but ...uh Saskia is not available for the male population (relation wise) so her looks are for women only!!! Don't think she's that good either but that's another matter.

[agonybliss]

I have been listening to Carmen Lundy and Karen Blixt.

They both are pretty amazing jazz vocalists...

[AllenLowe]

Ellen Powel is a great player -

Carmen Lundy, IMHO, could have been one of the real vocal stars of the music - BUT -

let us just saythat there were attitude issues (I briefly worked for her doing some booking in NYC in the 1970s; suffice to say that she still owes me money) -

[AllenLowe]

isn't the title of this topic something of an oxymoron?

[AllenLowe]

if you want a little entertainment, ask Ellen Powell about Sheila jordan -

(a recurring problem with vocalists; they seem overly defensive sometimes, that they are not always technically knoweldgeable; hence they tend to engage in pre-emptive abuse)

It's nice to see another plug for my old friend Ellen. Have you played with her, Allen?

Agreed!

[AllenLowe]

I did a few things with Ellen at a conference in Burlington, sometime maybe in the early 1990s - we were introduced by the late great pianist Andy Shapiro (the greatest synth player ever, I kid you not; he died of a brain tumor about 10 years ago) -

[Guest Bill Barton]

Yes, Andy is a legend in Vermont. I didn't have a chance to hear him play many times, but those few occasions were memorable.

Ellen's performance with Sheila Jordan in the Discover Jazz Festival in Burlington a few years back was superb. As I recall it was around the same time (early 1990s) as you mentioned

Ellen Rowe is a fine jazz pianist in Ann Arbor, Mi and is a professor in the jazz dept at U of M..

And let's not forget Reptet's Samantha Boshnack.. She not only plays great but writes and arranges a lot of Reptet's music.

Yep! Sam is a brilliant writer and arranger and one hell of a trumpet player.

[AllenLowe]

yes, Ellen Rowe, whom I alsp worked with a few times, is a fine musician - used to confuse people - Allen Lowe and Ellen Rowe -

I really enjoy pianist/composer Cecilia Coleman. I first heard her on live365.com (radio) which lead me to purchase 2-3 of her CDs on CD Baby and a couple more since. (3 are available in their ongoing $5 sale picks.) Whether in duet, trio or quintet, I like her style.

and another fine sax player (baritone & alto, also pennywhistle), Shannon Mowday from South Africa:

[Shannon Dickey]

Here in Denver, Laura Newman plays a versatile Saxophone. As far as vocalist's go Ellen Rucker is gear fab.

OLD STYLE: Ada Moore!!!!

[josieann]

I love Carmen Lundy and Karen Blixt

They both have fabulous voices!

[A Lark Ascending]

Ingrid Laubrock has a new release on Intakt that will be my next order:

Ingrid Laubrock:soprano and tenor saxophone

Liam Noble:piano

Tom Rainey:drums

Amazing how far she's come in ten years or so. Her first album was a pleasant, almost mainstream, affair but she'd moved right out into pure improvisation waters.
