A VERY SPECIAL LINCOLN CENTER APPEARANCE FOR ME AT DIZZY'S COCA-COLA ROOM. SO PROUD TO PLAY HERE, AS IT WAS THE GREAT DIZZY GILLESPIE WHO FIRST ENCOURAGED ME TO MOVE TO NYC IN 1971, AFTER HE SERVED AS A JUDGE AT MY UNIVERSITY, SMU, IN DALLAS. HE VOTED FOR ME AS BEST SOLOIST IN A JAZZ CONTEST, AND FELT I WOULD DO WELL IN A CITY SUCH AS NEW YORK AS A PROFESSIONAL.  I MOVED, AND A FEW MONTHS LATER, I BECAME THE FIRST FEMALE SIGNED TO BLUE NOTE RECORDS!  I DEDICATE THIS SHOW TO HIS MEMORY AND ENCOURAGEMENT.

MAKE RESERVATIONS EARLY! IT'S A BEAUTIFUL ROOM, BUT INTIMATE. CALL 212 258 9595 FOR RES.
