Trumpeter and vocalist Stacy Rowles, a staple on the Los Angeles jazz scene, died on October 30, 2009, from complications following a car accident. Memorial information is pending.

Stacy Rowles was the daughter of legendary pianist Jimmy Rowles, with whom she had recorded, and dancer Dorothy Rowles. Her brother, guitarist Gary Rowles, was a member of Love and Flo & Eddie; her sister Stephanie is an artist in Cambria, California.

Stacy Rowles had been a member of the Jazzbirds, an all-woman quintet led by the late multi-instrumentalist Betty O'Hara, the Jazz Tap Ensemble, and the DIVA Big Band. Her recordings with her father, Jimmy, include “Looking Back" (Delos) and “Me and the Moon" (AJS Recordings). One of her most recent recordings was a performance of Ray Noble's “Why Stars Come Out at Night" on Frank Mantooth's posthumously released Ladies Sing for Lovers.
