The chick singers’ revenge!
An ability to play the piano gives a female singer a rare advantage in a world where many a male pianist would rather be just getting down with his band-mates than having to accompany some chick singer. Here, second time around, is the concert we call "Piano Women" featuring four fine examples of women’s independence. There were three women last time so it's growing in leaps and bounds. And the males are down to one, redoubtable bassist Aaron Coddel, who will no doubt hold his own.
JULIE MASON

She has been a finalist in the Jazz Album of the Year Awards, and recently released her 6th album "Layers of Disguise".
