On this week 10 years ago, Amy Winehouse sadly passed away. Amy was an English singer songwriter, and quite possibly the best voice of her generation, known for her deep, expressive vocals and meaningful lyrics, inspired through an eclectic blend of musical genres stemming from soul, rhythm and blues, and jazz. Inspired through family relations, it appeared that Amy was always destined to be involved with jazz. Many of her uncles were professional jazz musicians, whilst Amy’s grandmother even dated the famous saxophonist, and prestigious bar owner Ronnie Scott.
