From Francesca “cha Cha” Miano’s Facebook wall, April 2024:

“The Jazz Foundation of America asked ‘Who is your jazz hero?’ on it’s Facebook page. Here’s my response:

‘Carol Sudhalter, who is a Queens-based tenor and baritone sax player and flautist. In 1977 she joined the first all-female Latin band, Latin Fever, and has performed with various bands in major clubs and festivals throughout the world. Carol also founded the Astoria Big Band, runs the monthly Flushing Town Hall jam session, and has given private sax, flute, and piano lessons for over four decades. Recently, The New York Times featured her in an article. She never ceases to inspire me!’ “
