Jeanie Lambe

Jeanie Lambe (23 December 1940 – 29 May 2020) was a Scottish jazz singer. She was married to jazz tenor saxophonist Danny Moss.

Biography Lambe was born on 23 December 1940 in Glasgow, Scotland. She was the female vocalist with the Alex Sutherland sextet at Elgin's Two Red Shoes Ballroom, referred to as the 'Glitterball of the North' run by Albert Bonici where she helped kick off the Two Red Shoes dances, aged 19, on 28 January 1960 with their “Gala Opening And Carnival Night".

Lambe moved to London in 1960 and worked with a variety of jazz bands in that area, including those led by Alex Welsh, Kenny Ball and Charlie Galbraith. In 1984 Lambe and her husband played a season in New York with the band of Bobby Rosengarden.

In 1989, Lambe and Moss moved to Perth, Australia and continued to tour internationally into the 2000s. "During her career Lambe has sung with modern and mainstream jazz musicians including Monty Alexander, Ben Webster, Budd Johnson, Oscar Peterson, Wild Bill Davison, Kenny Davern, Joe Pass and Buddy Tate."

She recorded two albums for Nagel-Heyer: Three Great Concerts - Live in Hamburg 1993-1995 and The Blue Noise Session.

"Over the years, Lambe's voice has subtly darkened, adding greater texture to an already fluid musical instrument."
