The trumpeter and vocalist Stacy Rowles has died, following a car accident last month. Rowles, 54, was the daughter of the late pianist Jimmy Rowles, and she was based in Los Angeles. She had been a member of a number of all-female jazz ensembles, including the Maiden Voyage big band and its quintet spin-off, The Jazz Birds. Rest In Peace Stacey, you gave us so much of your heart and music and we thank you. God Bless you...
