Miki is the real deal. I've seen her a couple times in NYC (Smalls/Mezzrow). I wish she would come to DC occasionally. We've communicated via email for a few years. She has a new album coming out this summer with young bassist Tyrone Allen, a future star. The drummer is her happy hubby Jimmy MacBride.

GEO, thanks for sharing.

Ciao,
