Not sure about this one but she was so influencial and played with Cab Calloway that there must be a way to include her in a jazz related category. She was bascially a gospel singer and guitarist who is credited as a major influence on rock'n'roll but has jazz connections as well
SISTER ROSETTA THARPE please read the wikipedia article and listen to some of her music. if she doesn't fit in here you should at least know about her if you don't already :) YouTube

She certainly has already been considered, she would be invaluable to a rock site as she more or less invented rock n roll, we'll take a deeper look at her, some early rockers have a strong relationship to jazz, such as Roy Brown, Amos Milburn and T Bone Walker.
