Ethel, Baltimore's Grand Dame of Jazz, performed at the historic Frederick Douglass High School in Baltimore. The concert, organized by the schools alumni, celebrated the rich musical history of the school , showcasing the talents of its current students and graduates of the past half dozen decades.
I haven't seen Ethel in a long time. She still makes every song uniquely her own and lost not an ounce of the rare abillities afforded to only a few entertainers of our time. She radiates on stage and her 'soft power' irresisitibly pulls you into that beautiful world mostly gone, and only too rarely exposed through unique, magical talent such as hers. Baltimore is lucky to have her.
Douglass High continues to produce brilliant sounds - be sure to seek out the Dukes of Jazz for their award winning, energetic and innovative arrangements.
