She was a great, great pianist who suffered a disability that ended her career. I've read that Charlie Parker tried to recruit her to play with him but she turned him down over loyalty to her own musicians. She was also a superbly good pre-Burton style vibes player. Watch this incredible couple of performances from the very early Tonight Show. Especially the second one, a vibes duel with Terry Gibbs where she more than holds her own.
