REMEMBER ANGELA BOFILL ? ? ?

My high school is having an online reunion. I was just thinking of Angie, so I looked around the net to see what she's up to. It turns out that she went to my high school, H.S. of Music and Art. It seems that somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew that.  I looked at some of the youtubes they have of her performances. I think it is against the rules to post them here.  Just know they are there for you to see.

She has a new album. She's been touring this year. She has something coming up in November in Cali.
Here is a link to an interview with her.

And there are youtubes of her tour. There is a link at the bottom of this blog to her album too. I really love when she sang things with spiritual undertones (which was most of the time, I think).  I am so glad to see she's back in the mix and people are showing her love.  Her show has an interesting twist to it.  She has guest artists singing her songs.  So, you get a double treat.

Thank you, Angie for staying in the game.

I'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU ! ! !

I'd really like to tailor this blog to the needs of the reader.  So, go down to the comments section and ask questions.  Does music theory confuse you? Are you looking for a teacher?  Do you think you have talent and want to know how to find out for sure?  Did something happen on a gig that you want to share?  Let's dialog.

There are so many people online, there's bound to be someone with the same or similar questions.

Do you need a source for your favorite recordings on CD?  I would like to find more jazz (bebop, straight ahead) on CD.  Maybe this is a solution.





I guess we'll find out...

In the meantime...I'll think of something to get you started.
