Marlena Shaw, Anthology


Today one of my mates gave me the coolest thing ever. A signed copy of the Marlena Shaw album, "Anthology". That is just so cool. Lance (the mate) and I went to see her perform live at Jazz Cafe when I first got to London in April 06. She is a jazz legend, having recorded under the Blue Note label and toured with the Count Basie band in the 60s-70s. She was the vocals on Blue Boy's "Remember Me", and also Nathan Haines' "Squire for Hire".

So I met up with Lance today after not seeing him in awhile... And he said he had something for me. And pulled out a blue and white cd case... Marlena Shaw, Anthology, and said he thought I'd appreciate it more than he would. How cool is he! Lance, you rock, thank you so much, I love it. :D
