专辑简介

Several vocalists have stood out at significant points in my journey in this arena called jazz. Though most are no longer living, they have been my mentors and heroes, even though they didn't know it - Billie Holiday, Carmen McRae, Blossom Dearie, Nancy Wilson, Dinah Washington, and Peggy Lee. This is less of a tribute CD and more of an acknowledgement of the contributions these amazing women have made to the world of jazz.

10% of the sale of this CD is being donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in memory of Anne P. Gipson (my mother) who passed away in 1988 from this disease.
