AllenLowe Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 I was amazed she was still alive. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Me too, I didn't know shw was still alive. RIP Kay, time to play with Duke again. Quote
brownie Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Kay Davis' passing is sad news! Her singing may not have been to everyone's taste but I had a keen appreciation for it (love several of her versions of 'Yesterday' in the Duke's DETS series, among other contributions to the Ducal repertory). Wish there were more recorded examples of her work with Billy Strayhorn! Quote
epistrophy007 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Ow, sad news indeed... Did she ever made a solo album? j. Quote
