Thank you for coming and sharing your knowledge and experiences with us at Slippery Rock; master class was great. Also, I thought your theories and ideas were great! Your sound, too, was very cool and interesting to observe. I'm going to have to get out and see you perform live!

Thanks again Billy

Carol,

Very nice playing on your samples here. My friend Rick Lawn recommended your playing--and he is right again. You are a very significant jazz artist.

As a fan of DIVA I'm giving my belated condolences on the recent passing of Stanley Kay. A truly extraordinary and in my opinion underrated figure in the history of American jazz. May his legacy live on forever and may DIVA keep on swinging. Best, Kurt

Awesome. Congrats on all of your success! Remember I was your stiffest competition your senior year.

I'm so proud of you Carol! I'm happy to hear of the success you are having, have a wonderful summer!

Carol...You are so great!! I loved your gig at Smalls. And, of course I love your playing with the big bands and with other groups, especially with Joe's piano behind you. Is that Joe?

Take care. Hope to see you soon.

Carol, thanks for the info about Diva, I will see if we can't put something together for fall 2010. Web site looks great. Oh yea and your playing is wonderful also. Hope to see you in May when your back in Texas.

Carol, What an immense musical pleasure to jam with you, Danni and Art. Words don't go high enough to describe your playing. I admire and appreciate the great technique you have to allow you to say all the creative melodies you so effortlessly improvise. If more of us played with the sensitivity, feel, and musical vocabulary you have, well then most of the trumpet stereotypes would die off. You are an inspiration and a great entertainer.

Keep tootin'

Hey Carol,

It's been years since I was lucky enough to play with you at the Women's Conference at TTU. I think Cara set that up.

You were on fire the whole night...tremendous solos - prodigious imagination - fearless soloing - resolute phrasing and phenomenal chops.

I loved your originals, too (most of the concert was your tunes.) Great writing, great changes. Had a blast playing on them.

BTW, if you have or ever do write a paper or book about how you allow your imagination, intuition and ear have total control and not relying on tired things that have been already been played, let me know, I'd be all over it. I would love an insight into your thought processes.

I know you're doing great...sure hope I have the pleasure of working with you again. I wish I could have played tenor instead of my ham-handed attempt at the piano.

I wish you continued luck,

Royce

PS. On I Fall In Love Too Easily, big ups to the pianist at 2:21. That rules.
