BeBop Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Wow. I can't imagine she was all that old. She joins her father on a recording I have and remember enjoying. Rest peacefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Dryden Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 One FB poster believes the cause of death was a head-on car crash, though I haven't found anything on line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 One FB poster believes the cause of death was a head-on car crash, though I haven't found anything on line. I believe that poster to be an accurate source, my understanding is that she passed away from injuries received in the accident. Very sad news.

Ted O'Reilly Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 all i have heard is that she was in a car accident recently, received treatment in a hospital and was sent home to recuperate. there is unverified talk about her dying as a result of undiagnosed damage received as a result of the accident. extremely tragic and sad news, indeed! Hmmm....inadequate medical care? Reminds me of Johnny Hodges' death in a dentist's chair. Stacey was a very fine singer as well as flugelhorn/trumpeter. And a lovely person....

Spontooneous Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 She was more versatile than she gets credit for. Hear her on Nels Cline's "Angelica." She was also a generous interviewee, I was pleased to discover. RIP Stacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flat5 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 I heard her once in a club near San Francisco with Jimmy about 1970, I think. I was very impressed. Hope to find a recording of her brass playing some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzwestcoast Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I'm totally devastated by this terrible loss. Stacy and I have a lot in common - our fathers were dear friends and musical brothers. Jimmy was part of the Nocturne Records rhythm section with Harry Babasin and Roy Harte. Stacy and I were born in the same year and have continued the artistic legacies our father's started sixty years ago. The contributions given to the jazz world by the Rowles' will always be remembered in west coast jazz history... My deepest condolences to the family...
