A memorial service for Stacy Rowles is set for Sunday, January 10, in the
auditorium of the Musicians Union local in Hollywood, California. The growing list of more than fifty musicians who will perform in tribute includes Pete Christlieb, Joe LaBarbera, Charlie and Sandi Shoemake, Gary Foster and Mike Melvoin. The trumpeter and singer died in late October of injuries from an automobile accident. She was the daughter of pianist Jimmy Rowles.
The affair will start at 11:00 a.m. and run into the evening. From the organizers’ invitation:
Please be our guest, we’ll be serving tri-tip and chicken with beer, wine and softer things at the bar. If you make a dish you are proud of, you are welcome to bring a taste for the table. One of the rules of the house when Stacy entertained was ‘nobody leaves hungry’, and we never did!
