Those wild `n crazy cats over on the Diana Krall Jazz Princess forum are speculating about whether she will guest at a tribute show for one of her mentors and early supporters , the late Ray Brown . It`s on at the Orange County Performing Arts Centre , California on Feb. 6th and 7th. Diana and Elvis will be in L.A. that week for the , ahem , Sting `thingy` and the Grammies. Of course , where Diana goes , so does Elvis.....

Russell Malone and Monty Alexander worked with the late, great Ray Brown on his final recording sessions, which were released following his death last summer. Now, Malone and Alexander are joined by Benny Green, Christian McBride, John Clayton and Jeff Hamilton in a rousing celebration of the legendary bassist's life and work. Over the course of a career that spanned more than 50 years, Brown swung with the best of them, from Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker to Oscar Peterson and Ella Fitzgerald (to whom he was married). This all-star jam session promises a loving tribute to one of jazz's brightest luminaries.
