Marty Elkins is a swinger. She likes to sing the classic songs she heard growing up in Jersey City, especially Bessie, Billie, Dinah, Lavern Baker, Lee Wiley, and Ella. “I’d lock myself in my room and listen to the records,” she told host Michael Bourne on Singers Unlimited.
Marty brought along pianist Steve Ash and bassist Lee Hudson for some songs recorded live on WBGO.
Produced by Billy Robinson for WBGO Studios.
