For this new show, Amanda broadens her presentation of the music of Mildred Bailey, Blanche Calloway and Bea Wain adding great jazz tunes of their era performed with gusto and grace in arrangements not usually heard. She specializes in finding long lost musical gems, both the people and the music they perform.
