Legendary American jazz singer Ernestine Anderson died on March 10 aged 87. A prolific recording artist making over 30 albums, the last one as recent as 2011. Four Grammy nominations recording on a variety of labels including Mercury, Columbia and Concord. She toured with Lionel Hampton, had discs produced by Q and even lived in London for awhile.
A unique stylist who deserves to be spoken of in the same breath as some of the more deified singers. Listen to her here age 81!
Ernestine will be sadly missed.
Obituary,Lance.
