I was saddened to hear about Martha's demise. I didn't find out until now. Martha and I were close allies when it came to Erroll Garner. She assisted me in my first tribute to Erroll Garner by providing films of Erroll. This was back in 1985. We were in touch often , especially when she had an office on Fifth Avenue. I remember transcribing one of Erroll's compositions for her! I WILL MISS HER!
