And now at 23, after playing with jazz giants like Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheny, she is releasing an album in three languages. She joins us with a live performance.

wow.
the song "look no further" was written for the show "no strings" by richard rogers. it was not written by betty carter
I saw you this morning 2/25/09, on Tavis Smiley. I was very impressed with your musical talent and mentality.
It occured to me that you might be interested in obtaining the double bass that belonged to the late Malachi Favors. He was a Jass musician from the 1950's. The bass dates back to the 1950's and may be older.
Please contact me if you are interested or would like more information.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you,
Norma
