I expect all the 'teachers' will carry on playing with Andrea when she eventually flies the nest”
I was impressed with Jose Luis Gaul on the Rhodes piano. Very understated, but an excellent solo. Also, the way David Pastor on trumpet, "filled in the gaps" in the tune as Eva sang the last chorus, an "old fashioned modern jazz" technique.
Eva showed she can "scat sing.," she has a great vocal range.
When you're taught to sight read music you learn your chords, so you can improvise singing or playing with "the right notes" with every chord.
