For years, Edwina Thorne has been one of the go-to trumpet players in this country - ever since she was a bubbly teenager in the Rodger Fox Big Band! Since then, Edwina's studied alongside the legendary Branford Marsalis, jammed with Etta James and Chick Corea and played all over South America with her own Latin Jazz band La Chicas. And this month she's the sole New Zealander invited to play at an international festival in New York called "Lady Got Chops" - a pretty good description of Edwina Thorne as it happens!
