Carmen Staaf
Born:
'Winner of the festival's piano competition last year, Staaf could have earned a small slot on the program on the strength of her technique alone.

Duke Ellington stayed with swing through bop, funk, and fusion. And so did alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges (1906-1970), who played in Ellington's band ...
