'Relax' advertising campaign?

Inspired in her early days by the bebop ferment around Charlie Parker (she was married to pianist Duke Jordan at the time), she took to improvisation as to the manner born, and has continued to produce outstanding music ever since. Her welcome return also includes participation in the Ladies of Jazz event on Thu 3 (same place, same time).
