So I was listening to NPR today and one of her songs came on and I really enjoyed it.
Are any of you familiar with her work, if so where is the best place to start?

my favourite is  ------------- I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ... Ken Burns |

Apparently this list changes, so if you wait a day or two you should get different albums to check out.

I saw her in concert about 5 years ago, she was OK but the other 2 musicians(don't recall their names) playing with her weren't so good
