Can’t wait to get home and check this out. She and Monk are my biggest influences (as a pianist).

Journey in Satchidinanda has long been one of my go-to absolute grooves.

Thanks for this. A few weeks ago I saw something about her somewhere and decided to check her out. So I went to the library and checked out its one CD of her. And promptly lost it before listening to it. I've searched and searched and ultimately decided it (and 3 other CDs) must have been stolen out of my car.
