Camille Howard

[paul secor]

I was listening to Roy Milton and his Solid Senders (Specialty CD 7004) today and realized for the first time what a fine, bluesy boogie woogie pianist Camille Howard was. I think that I had just taken her playing for granted before this. She was obviously the backbone of Roy Milton's band and records. I have the feeling that when people think of boogie woogie pianists she's usually overlooked, but she was one hell of a piano player.
