VA - Strictly Britxotica! (2017)

Leicestershire saxophonist Betty Smith was one of the few female musicians working in British Jazz during the 50's. Renowned for her improvisational skills, she formed a group, embarked on global tours and sang with Ted Heath's famous band. 'Stormy Weather' is a moodily atmospheric nugget of jazz blues played magnificently by 'the girl with sax appeal'.
