1905Ivie Anderson, Vocal
b. Gilroy, CA, USA.
d. Dec. 28, 1949, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Best recalled for her work with Duke Ellington's band. Considered one of the finest singers of the golden age of jazz, Ivie Anderson was a fluent vocalist who impressed many with her blues and scat phrasings. Most impressed was Duke Ellington, who kept her on as vocalist for eleven years and would have kept on for more had she not retired due to health problems.
