That's because her piano style is unique: Classical training, but absorbing whatever she heard and played in church as a child, then folk and jazz as she matured. She didn't care about categories or stylistics. She liked Ellington and Oscar Peterson, but never imitated anybody. Bach counterpoint and deep black people's music roots. A world of her own.
