Not according to the biography I've checked befroe writing, which
gives 1918 as her year of birth.

Good for you!  Very little jazz activity here recently, but next month
Evan Christopher will appear here with Swing de Gitanes and a drummer
(I cannot understand why they need one with a Gypsy swing group). and
I've already purchased tickets to two shows; I might even attend more.
Cheers
