JazzWax by Marc Myers
If you're a jazz singer who's going to take on a Joni Mitchell tribute album, you had better know what you're doing.

Last Thursday, my phone rang. On the other end was a young woman who hurridly began telling me a story, adding that a friend had suggested she contact me. The only words that stuck at the time were “photographs," “Campbell" and “homeless." Since I hear from media relations people all day long promoting one thing or another, I asked her to send me an email and that I'd take a look. She sent along a link to a Kickstarter drive ...
