Sad to hear of the passing of jazz singer Tina May who has died at the age of 60 after a battle with cancer. Tina was one of the UK's leading jazz singers. Fellow singer Cleveland Watkiss tweeted on hearing the news: ''Home To Glory, my dear friend, work colleague, wonderful, beautiful soul #TinaMay. I really hoped that we could’ve done some more music together here! Now I’ll have to wait until I too, get to the other side. Until then.''
