LEE MUSIKER

Last evening I had a phonecall from my friend Lee Musiker which began with a marvellous piano introduction.Spine tingling!
Lee has recently been working with The New York Philharmonic Orchestra and also playing for Broadway Star Barbara Cook. Lee and his group are due at various Jazz Festivals in Europe this Summer and will be in London in December accompanying Barbara who will be here to celebrate her 80th Birthday.
Lee asked me to pass on his best to all his friends in The UK-which is my pleasure.
