I'm insinuating nothing .
I am saying she is among the most alive persons in jazz and one of the best guides as to where and how it needs to proceed if jazz is to thrive and perhaps even survive .
I don't really care who is the best player , music is not for music's sake .It exists to uplift humanity and make this valley of tears easier to bear . Grace is a great musician, she composes, teaches and brings sunshine wherever she goes . Very few have as much to say in her voice or from her saxophone (to my knowledge she has no axe ). She says I'm alive, you are alive, lets LIVE ! That's talent of the highest order .
Phil Woods didn't pass his hat to her for nothing .
