Come Sunday
Sumi Tonooka and Rosella Washington
Philadelphia Art Museum Jazz Series
September 17, 2010

The classic Duke Ellington composition Come Sunday, performed so beautifully by my friend and vocalist Rosella Clemmons Washington. Rosella had a voice like an angel, so much power and heart. We lost her all too soon, but I am so grateful that this moment was caught when she sat in with us at the Philadelphia Art Museum series. I can still hear her laughter and feel her spirit, a lifelong long friend greatly missed but always remembered.
