Hi Julian!

She's the one in Jamming The Blues, isn't she.
I like her very much.
Strange, but I've never come across any records of her.

If we want to talk about DEFINITIVE Jazz singers, one needs to go 
back to the generation BEFORE Ella and Billie. Then you get to 
Adelaide Hall, a genuinely 'definitive' Jazz singer since, born in 
1901, she helped write the book!

Earl.
