All honor to Al Wood’s Ukulele Hunt for posting a link to this video of Victoria Vox on the Jay Leno Show. I missed Victoria’s blog posting announcing that she would be on, and of course I never watch the Jay Leno Show, so I wouldn’t have known about it but for Al.

And here’s “Peeping Tomette,” a.k.a. “Chameleon,” which features one of Victoria’s best mouth trumpet solos:
“Chameleon” is the title track of Victoria’s terrific second album, which you can buy at her website.
