Jazz it up

    In the tradition of jazz legends like Clifford Brown and Robert “Boysie” Lowery, Fostina Dixon Kilgoe feels every note she plays.  And she shared that feeling with the world – from Showtime at the Apollo, to a tour with Marvin Gaye – and then back home to Delaware, where she founded the Wilmington Youth Jazz Band.
