Mark Stryker Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Anybody know any details about the pianist named Vivian Fears? She played and recorded with Gerald Wilson in the mid '40s and also appears to have cut a few tunes in 1964 as a vocalist issued on a Crown LP that's otherwise includes what appears to be bootleg Billie Holiday Decca material. Fears appears to have also recorded as Vivian Glasby in the mid '40s with Fletcher Henderson. Wilson seems to have found her in Chicago when she was working with Henderson. I came across an ad in a Los Angeles area newspaper in 1969 in which she's billed as Vivian Fears, the "female Nat Cole." Not crucial to me, but my curiosity is piqued.
