She was born in 1940 and raised in Seattle. Tammy played string bass in local bands as a teenager, and later joined a instrumental group called The Individuals in 1964. It was around this time that she was encouraged by the leader to start singing. Soon after arriving in Los Angeles in 1970, she started a steady club job with composer and pianist Howlett “Smitty” Smith as a member of his trio. Smith encouraged her to write her own songs. Tammy returned to her hometown in 1988 and, for the next couple of decades, focused on composing while playing bass and singing with small groups in the Seattle area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From her liner notes, Tammy says the following: “Fancy Free” is a 2-CD set of originals from two different recording sessions. On both sessions, I was blessed with great jazz musicians who understood from my simple arrangements exactly what I wanted with each song. The Great American Songbook and 20th Century musicals have been a major influence in my songwriting.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Tammy's songs and voice are remarkable. No one writes songs or sings them this way anymore. You don't know her, but you should and you'll dig!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40773504565345,"sku":"8427328655095","price":28.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_10566403_22076647_20250417065928.jpg?v=1744894464","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/8427328655095-fancy-free-the-voice-and-songs-of","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
