Hey Doug! If your daughter still plays the viola, here's a fun fact: in old time jazz, when you hear a banjo, it's not a five-string tuned to an open G chord like bluegrass people use; it's a four-string tenor banjo tuned C G D A--like a viola!

In the 1970s Joëlle moved to Buffalo, New York. She has always seen greener pastures here in the U.S. Which is an oddity given how many American improvising artists had moved to Europe (and especially Paris) in the 1950s and '60s.

Market in the cool white mornin'
Merchants sell while women buy
Milk, tobacco, soap and matches
Sweep the floor
While the dishes dry
Spring whispered in her ear
Like soft Mediterranean wailin'
Sleepy woman by the window
Dreamin' in the morning air
Of the one who takes her sweetness
By a chinese lamp upstairs
The steam of china tea
You could hear the woman sing
In the soft flames of spring
Spring has swept the scarlet side streets
Winds caress, undress, invite
Upstairs by a china lamp
They softly talk in the cool spring night
