This month we remember our friend and colleague, Baritone Sax player, Claire Daly. Claire succumbed to an illness and passed away on October 22nd. 

Earlier this year I had the opportunity to join her on stage at the 

WICN- FM Worcester “Celebrating Women in Jazz" event. (pictured above) . She is so missed by all of us in the jazz community. 

Claire visited The Jazz Room at Studio 952 NYC many times through the years. Starting with her CD  “ The Mary Joyce Project”, “Baritone Monk” and “Vu Vu for Frances”.

 

​This month we pay tribute to Claire with these interviews.
