Love Nancy! What a class act she is! Can't wait for those first-time-on-CD Nancy releases coming courtesy of soulmusic.com this year! This album turned me into a hard-core fan:

Lush Life, the album, is sublime. Especially the song "The Right to Love," which is tops in my estimation. Love this woman!

...At Julliard's 107th Commencement Ceremony where she received an Honorary Doctor of Music degree.

Always a very striking and elegant looking woman
It's interesting that see always mentions Little Jimmy Scott as a main phrasing influence.




...1987 Carnegie Hall concert


I got to meet her a few years ago when she did a gig at Yoshi's in NoCal.
A good friend was playing trumpet in her band as they were recreating some of the material she did with Cannonball Adderley.


Music for adventurous listeners

I don't think she tours anymore but she's still around

She announced her retirement last year to spend time with her family. She said she will still be making occasional appearances, but she's done with touring. I don't think she really elaborated on recording another full-length album. I hope she will do another album but I doubt it.
