An understated, dynamic singer within jazz and popular standards, Etta Jones was an excellent singer always worth hearing. She grew up in New York and at 16, toured with <a href="spotify:artist:23ZeHMuusfCSypkcHOa4Hc">Buddy Johnson</a>. She debuted on record with <a href="spotify:artist:28IxhsTl0mELeGN9E5J0Oh">Barney Bigard</a>'s pickup band (1944) for Black & White, singing four <a href="spotify:artist:18JiHWhqvWBYpHQ44jMaSG">Leonard Feather</a> songs, three of which (including "Evil Gal Blues") were hits for <a href="spotify:artist:32LHRiof0sa4taYew9i3Fa">Dinah Washington</a>. She recorded other songs during 1946-1947 for RCA and worked with <a href="spotify:artist:2mY5u4CceAPrpBnse1WpFr">Earl Hines</a> (1949-1952). Jones' version of "Don't Go to Strangers" (1960) was a hit and she made many albums for Prestige during 1960-1965. Jones toured Japan with <a href="spotify:artist:6QQuESLtKhAOcLW2TeWC2t">Art Blakey</a> (1970), but was largely off record during 1966-1975. However, starting in 1976, Etta Jones (an appealing interpreter of standards, ballads, and blues) began recording regularly for Muse, often with the fine tenor saxophonist <a href="spotify:artist:16Xx0WCnAKOA9mwPPSUJmr">Houston Person</a>. She died from complications of cancer on October 16, 2001, the day her last album, Etta Jones Sings Lady Day, was released. ~ Scott Yanow & Ron Wynn, Rovi
