Jane Bunnett

Jane Bunnett, OC (born October 22, 1956) is a Canadian soprano saxophonist, flautist and bandleader known for her Afro-Cuban jazz melodies. She travels regularly to Cuba to perform with Cuban musicians. She "...studied for a career as a classical pianist before turning at 20 to jazz and to flute and soprano saxophone."

In 2004, she was made an Officer of the Order of Canada. In 2006, she was awarded an honorary Doctorate by Queen's University at Kingston, Ontario, Canada.

In addition to her primary instruments, Bunnett also plays the trompeta china, a Cuban wind instrument of Chinese origin.

    Trophy Wives

    by: Jonbenet

    Shake, shake, shake
    Loose that single gleam of hope left in your chest
    Gone are the days of sunshine
    The days of sunshine, I promise
    Breath taking photographs
    Of dreams long forgotten
    Your ship has sank
    Wrong place, wrong time
    Squeal once more for papa
    This is not about money, oh no
    This is a sport
    Hair that smells of fear and
    Eyes that scream, solitude
    Companionship is just another
    Fucking curse
    You can't buy friends like this
    You can't buy friends like this
    You can't buy friends like this
    Bite and scratch all you like
    Bite and scratch all you like
