About Dr. Height

Dorothy Height was the greatest woman I ever knew. She has always been there for the cause, standing up for justice and equality in race and in gender. Her smile and her style, her very being inspired me. Her message, and her hats, were both to die for. My respect and love for her knew no bounds, and no honor made me prouder than receiving the Uncommon Height Award in 2005. There has never been, and will never be, another woman quite like Dr. Height.

A few engagements in 2010

I am feeling good and looking forward to doing a few engagements this year. Management only announces confirmed appearances, but plans are ever unfolding so keep checking my Schedule. First up this year is a return engagement at Yoshi's in Oakland. I had a wonderful time there with "my gentlemen" last June -- click here to visit my new official fan page on Facebook and find a little video excerpt from that Yoshi's engagement.

Celebrating 50 years together!!

You have heard me speak of my long-time manager, John Levy, who has guided my career since 1959. This Fall we celebrated the 50th anniversary of our business relationship, consummated with a handshake and never requiring a written contract. John has taken good care of my career all these years and loved me like a daughter. We share so many memories and I enjoy looking through all the photographs he shot over the years, not just of me, but of many of the greatest jazz performers, backstage, onstage, at festivals and in his backyard. Now you can see those photos too. Strollin': A Jazz Life Through John Levy's Personal Lens is a soft-cover coffee-table book of his color photos and it is still available from SnapSizzleBop.
