March 2013, Lamb was awarded the Jazz Club
of Sarasota's Satchmo Award for his contribu-
tions as an educator and performer, it adds.
Gillespie "is a spirited musician knee-deep
in the tradition of New York jazz, blues and
swing," the release continues. A professional
musician since age 14, she has "performed
with such luminaries as Chick Corea, Bobby
McFerrin, Rosemary Clooney, George Burns,
Ben Vereen and Ray Charles," the release
adds. Gillespie has also toured with the
Xavier Cugat Orchestra throughout the U.S.
and abroad.
Pianist Glover has been a member of New
Jersey's Alex Glover & Company since 1987,
the release notes. "She performs with various
size ensembles in Atlantic City and through-
out the Delaware Valley."
Jazz drummer and University of South Florida
faculty member Goodman is much in demand
throughout central Florida. He has performed
on more than 50 recordings in styles ranging
from jazz to contemporary worship, to choral
show music, the release says.
