Query: I was there

I was at the Monk Institute competition at which Gambarini placed third. Teri Thornton who placed first is now, sadly, deceased. Jane Monheit placed second and she is a huge star. I am so happy to see Gambarini get the acclaim she deserves. She sounds like a young Carmen McRae. I love this CD.
