Jazz: Sandra Wright, Jay McShann
01/12/10 9:00PM By George Thomas
We note sadly the passing of "Vermont's Blues Diva," Sandra Wright,
with a live recording done in 2000 with Big Joe Burrell introducing
her. Jay McShann's birthday is the occasion to revisit some on his 1941
Decca recordings featuring a young Charlie Parker soloing on his first
recordings.
