    She was such a brilliant musician. When I was growing up, my parents used to go see her in Detroit. My father especially loved Jazz and she was very well known in Detroit.

    I believe she was also at times a member of The Soulful Strings, which I didn't see referred to in any of the above posts. I think the SS were usually uncredited studio musicians, so she may not have played with them all the time, but according to this article she was definitely on their [[fantastic) Christmas LP:
