[Dixielandjazz] Amy Roberts

[lrg4003 at aol.com]

Marek, Amy is indeed 22.  Or at least she was when I had the chance to meet, hear and perform with her at the New Orleans Trad Jazz Camp
in early August.

In an early session she was acting a little shy and I encouraged her to come up and play and promptly blew me off the music stand.
She's pretty unassuming until she starts to play and then she puts out an amazing torrent of sound and notes---all of it great.

> Speaking of young musiciians on the rise, have you heard Bria Skonberg yet?
 She is a Canadian born trumpeter & vocalist who might be something like 25
Is she really so young?  I've been reading about her (yes, I heard her
lay, too) for so long that I'd have expected her to be older by now.

 I have what I believe may have been the first album she recorded, along with
 trombonist Jim Fryer under the heading of the Borderline Jazz Band.
 I believe she was 22 at the time.

 Her most recent album is called "Fresh" but I have not acquired it as I
 understand it is predominantly vocals whereas I believe it is on trumpet
 where she really excels

 Keep an eye, or rather an ear out for it, I don't think you'll be
 disappointed..

 Tides,
 HC
