Miss Fordham will be playing the Horowitz Steinway [on tour] Concert Grand which was Horowitz' personal and touring piano since 1946. This is the piano that Horowitz used on his last tour of the Soviet Union. Coincidentally, it is the same piano that Miss Fordham heard while going to visit William Kapell when she first moved to NY [at the request of Kapell]. They remained friends til his death in a plane crash [at Half Moon Bay San Fran.]at age 31. Horowitz lived two Brownstone houses to the west of Kapell, and could be heard clearly from the street by passersby. Also of interest, Ania Dorfman lived two buildings East of Kapell. Dorfman later became Fordham's teacher and mentor for a period of time. Horowitz, Kapell and Dorfman were all Steinway Artists. Our current Album 'Channeling Bill' [Evans]will be released at the Al Young, Jazz Poet's concert April 25th 08. at 7 PM at the South Pasadena Library Concert Hall.[see schedule] Next concert is this Thursday 7 30 PM after recording session.Steinway Hall 12121 West Pico Blvd at Bundy Admission Free, 818 371 7735http://suezennefordhamchamberjazz.blogspot.com
