Dear Brian,
Did your infomation on Dorothy Tait come from "George Lewis.A Jazzman From 
New Orleans" (University of California Press, 1977)? There is quite a bit 
about her there. This also contains "interviews with George Lewis" and "A 
statement by Lewis on jazz and the best way to play it, Notes, Bibliography, 
and a "complete... discography." Altogether a better book, I think.
Jay Allison and Ann Fairbarn--"Both of these authors' names are pseudonyms 
for Dorothy Tait." (David Horn. "The Literature of American Music" 
(Scarecrow Press, 1977). Cheers.
Fred
