From 1990 to 1998, I had the blessing of touring Europe as a jazz singer and living in Switzerland, a gorgeous country. I am a native New Yorker and I reside in South Florida, the 6th borough of New York!
The journals I kept while I was on the road held dates, names, places and stories about all the wonderful gigs I had and the musicians I worked with. Now, those stories are in the first nine chapters of my book, IN PURSUIT OF A MELODY, that also contains 35 poems and 40 songs, written by me since 1977, and two lectures that offer a history of WOMEN IN JAZZ and a manual for up and coming Divas, entitled, So, You Want To Be A Singer?
I encourage you all to check out my book that is now listed at Border's Book Stores where I will begin a book tour on November 8, 2008.
