Nozomi Oye?

[sgcim]

Been playing with a bass player who was the second husband of the late Japanese free jazz vocalist, Nozomi Oye. She sang with people like Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor (who called her the greatest singer in the world), Matthew Shipp, John Cage, and Knitting Factory people like John Zorn, and other members of the Lower East Side Avant Garde  jazz scene, and also the Punk band Pigkill. They moved to LA in '92 where she got a day gig, and sang straight jazz in Beverly Hills supper clubs.

Does this ring any bells with anyone?

This would be her on the West Coast ...

Not a familiar name to me.

[T.D.]

Never heard of her, though the John Cage context is the only one I'd have been aware of.

Googled and hits are sparse, with many of the NY-related ones seemingly posted by the above-mentioned ex.
