Last year Susan played a benefit for the Ron Patel Scholarship fund. After her set a jazz trio came out. Then out comes Susan, long blue evening gown, heels, sits at the piano. Berlin, Porter, Basie, Ellington, Brubeck. No Monk (Shazbaht!!!!) but I could see that happening. At a benefit for local folky Lisabeth Weber last year, Susan did the accompanist thing for a local jazz sax player, Ken Ulansey. There was one piano in the place, and it was on stage, so I know that they didn't rehearse at all. Susan was seated behind Kenny, so there was no eye contact. The interplay, dynamics, and feel were perfectly executed. They would play up to the end of a phrase, Susan would stop, let Kenny air it out for a while, then join in at just the perfect moment to accentuate and enhance the effect of his solo effort. This is what musicians call being generous. We're lucky Susan decided to write songs with words, 'cause she could easily make a living just playing piano.
