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

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.
