Great jazz from an unknown artist

"It's a shame that this woman is virutally unknown...she's a stellar jazz trumpet player and this is a great album. Rebecca Coupe Franks is joined by an excellent band, including legendary sax player Joe Henderson, for a fun, funky, jazzy combination of standards and originals. I first heard of her when I received a free Justice Records sampler. I've only heard one song on her other album, "All of a Sudden," and I loved that as well. Take advantage of the fact that this disc is dirt cheap. If you're a jazz fan, you'll probably love this."
