OTOH

Kudos to Danielle Wertz the vocalist and arranger, for winning a share of the Grammy for the best instrumental performance, in the project led by Remy LeBoef. Remy plays reeds, Pascal plays piano: they are the first twins to win Grammy’s in successive years. From Santa Cruz. Danielle is from DC area; she performed in Earthwise new music series in the Raffi Garabedian project; came thru recently with her Joan Mitchell Leonard Cohen project with Eddie from Ohio; said hi to me in New York Winterjazzfest at Matt Merewitz’ Fully Altered showcase that included Carmen Staaf, Adam O’Farrill, Ben Goldberg, Hamir Atwal, Dillon Vado and Todd Sickafoose, and Josh Roseman. At Loove Labs sick.

Regarding Dean: she is playing two nights this summer at the Warriors arena. She looks healthier seven years ago in a video doing “Natural Woman”. She went to the same performing arts school as Imogene Heap.

Edit to add or ad: Oivia Dean is booked by Jenna Adler of CAA so will be just fine.
