Christine Fawson: Sings Jazz
by Jack Bowers
Christine Fawson: a singer who plays trumpet or a trumpeter who sings? Flip a coin.

by Dan McClenaghan
The Tim Ray Trio supplied the spirited accompaniment on Kindred Spirits (Whaling City Sound, 2016), behind saxophonists Greg Abate and the legendary Phil Woods.
