Terrible news. An amazing artist who I was lucky to see live a few times, most recently in Lisbon with Jose Lencastre & Hernani Faustino, where she had the pedal steel sounding like a zither or banjo at times. The range of sound and expression she got from the instrument was remarkable. A huge loss.

absolutely gutted to learn of the passing of Susan Alcorn, an incredibly gifted improviser, arranger, and musician who bridged so many musical worlds. We just hung out last week at her show in Baltimore with David Grubbs. I am in shock at this loss but grateful to her for her work and her example.
