My pleasure, Dave!

There is more on her recent CD here
http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:fnfrxzwsld0e

A partial list of the slouches playing on the CD include :
- Mark Shane : piano
- Matt Munisteri : guitar / banjo
- Jon-Erik Kellso : trumpet
- John Allred : trombone
- Howard Johnson : tuba

IMHO, it merits a look into.

All the best, Gary
