She is an extraordinary talent, with chops, originality, respect for the tradition, and sensitivity plus swing. She does wonderful interpretations of standards and Monk and plays compositions of her own that are wonderful too. Her recent set at Dizzy's at the Time- Warner Center blew us all away.Noah Valehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12991076408810174557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19992355.post-82990654307905295582009-07-08T11:14:41.380-04:002009-07-08T11:14:41.380-04:00Wow, so sad, can't believe it.

I was actually looking for Mario Rivera's contact info because I decided to take tenor sax seriously and wanted lessons from him only to find out he's passed away.. He was a huge inspiration to me, I did hear years ago that he was gigging in small harlem clubs and I always had planned to check him out. Wow, he was "the one" in my book. The other dude is Justo Almario but he's not in the NYC area so, there goes that.. Guess I'll keep shedding till I find another..franknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19992355.post-78402764857062577442009-01-16T09:23:00.000-05:002009-01-16T09:23:00.000-05:00Didn't realize you were at Winter Jazz Fest!

He will always be one of my all-time favorite musicians for what he accomplished as an innovator and for the kind, generous person he was. I will deeply miss him as he has had a profound impact on my life and he encompassed everything I aspire to be. I am most fortunate that Michael became a colleague and friend in recent years when he so graciously helped jumpstart my career by writing a testimonial for my debut CD release "DKO" and then recording the title track for my 3rd DKO CD "In The Now".<BR/><BR/>With sincere gratitude and respect, I thank you Michael.<BR/>The world is a much better place because you were here.Darren Kramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16755578028792964177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19992355.post-33675890174950601582006-12-28T17:19:00.000-05:002006-12-28T17:19:00.000-05:00no problem.
