Oh shit, that's sad!

Got to dig up that LP of hers.

[Justin V]

I wondered what had become of her. She definitely held her own among the stellar musicians on Burning Spirits. RIP.

[JSngry]

One of the most compelling, strongest voices of her time, imo. RIP indeed.

[sidewinder]

I really like her recordings with Sonny Simmons and would like to hear the later stuff too. Truly sorry to hear this - RIP.

[clifford_thornton]

Huh, I had actually assumed she was already gone - which is embarrassing.

She was a monster.

[romualdo]

That's sad - RIP Barbara

Have just finished reading "Always In Trouble" Oral Hx of ESP-Disk by Jason Weiss

She wasn't interviewed for the book but is mentioned a few times by Sonny Simmons & James Zitro (who I noticed has just become an organissimo member in the last week or so)

[Utevsky]

She was awesome. A really spirited player. It's too bad she never got much exposure.

[Carl Baugher]

She was a fine musician. Sorry to hear of her passing.

She was a fine musician. Sorry to hear of her passing.

Wondering if you're the fellow who wrote for Cadence.

If you are, or if you're not, welcome.
