      I saw this article today and thought that it might be interesting to the group. I frankly never heard of Clora Bryant before this, but I certainly will be doing further research and listening.

        I was a pretty active musician in the 50s and I recall her today because she was the first female trumpet player that I had heard of. They were rare, and after reading that NY Times article I can understand why.
        Thanks for that video. I had never heard her play and damn, she is good.

        Rest in peace, Clora.
