And it's hard enough to wind up with ONE great name let alone 2, but Abdullah Ibrahim/Dollar Brand

Ahmad Jamal/Fritz Russell Jones isn't as good?

I figure Grimes should check into our adopted girl singer, Cyrille Aimee



She's performing with what seems like increasing regularity in NYC, at Birdland & other prominent venues

whimsy

She has musical talent, and also fairly clearly enjoys the 'entertainment' element of performance - kinda provides an example of the kind of jazz musician TV expresses appreciation of upthread, and, well, er, um, she's got an approachable quality....

Wouldn't say I'd lay out to attend her performing a set of the same kind of thing, but I like that it's A kind of thing she can do, & enjoy.

so, whimsy. Whimsy can be hot

You did, and she is, Kid. The re-post was to give a new boarder, Grimes, a flavor of some vocalists people here had remarked on, and also because Aimee's been getting regular dates at Birdland & other higher-profile clubs.

Fania has an awesome app on Spotify as of last week. Pretty crucial stuff on there.
