Don Sickler: "My musical involvement with Bertha began when we were going over her husband Elmo Hope's music. We were trying to notate it accurately so others could play it. Fortunately for me and for all other musicians, Bertha has a deep personal knowledge of Elmo's music. I soon realized that Bertha was a tremendous musician and composer in her own right. This is the first of many of her compositions that we'll make available on jazzleadsheets.com."
