A special concert to help raise funds for longtime St. Louis jazz vocalist Mae "Lady Jazz" Wheeler has been scheduled for 6 p.m., Sunday, January 28 at the Sheldon Concert Hall.
Wheeler was hospitalized late last year to be treated for cancer, and while she continues to recover, expenses continue to mount. So, her musician friends are banding together to stage this benefit show, with singer Denise Thimes organizing the event. According to an email from Jay Brandt of Brandt's (Wheeler's unofficial performing headquarters), Thimes is in the process of lining up an star-studded lineup of musicians and singers eager to pay tribute to Wheeler. StLJN will have more details for you as soon as they're available.
