Kathy Stobart RIP

[sidewinder]

Just noticed this sad news. RIP - she was a fine tenor player with a big tone. Remember seeing her in Humphrey Lyttleton's 1970s band (the one with Bruce Turner and Mike Pyne) and being very impressed. Her style was a bit more 'modernist' than Humph but it fitted in perfectly in that lineup.

Might have even seen her in Bill Lewington's as well - sort of sounds familiar.

Indeed she was - a mainstay of British jazz for several decades. She will be sadly missed.

Saw her with Humph in the 90s. Very impressed. A trailblazer in a very male profession.
