When Jacquie Lee was nine years old, she went with her family to see violinist Regina Carter at Birdland. “I had never felt a connection to jazz at that point," she recalled, “but I saw someone who was a woman and a violinist playing jazz. I idolized her for a long time. We had family connections, and I would get to do private lessons and group lessons with her. She's so incredible and a very, very nice person."
