b/w RECKLESS BLUES
Anna Ottilie Patterson was born in Comber, County Down, Northern Ireland on January 31, 1932. She was the youngest child of four. Her father, Joseph Patterson, was from Northern ireland, and her mother, J?lija J?gers, was from Latvia. Both sides of the family were musical, and Ottilie trained as a classical pianist from the age of eleven, but never received any formal training as a singer.
In 1949 Ottilie went to study art at Belfast College of Technology, where a fellow student introduced her to the music of Bessie Smith, Jelly Roll Morton, and Meade Lux Lewis. In 1951 she began singing with Jimmy Compton's Jazz Band, and in August 1952 she formed the Muskrat Ramblers with Al Watt and Derek Martin.
In the summer of 1954 while holidaying in London Ottilie met Beryl Bryden, who introduced her to the Chris Barber Jazz Band.
She joined the Barber Band full-time on January 1, 1955 and her first public appearance was at the Royal Festival Hall on January 9, 1955. Between 1955 and 1962 Ottilie toured extensively with the Chris Barber Jazz Band and issued many recordings: those featuring her on every track include the EPs Blues (1955), That Patterson Girl (1955), That Patterson Girl Volume 2 (1956), Ottilie (1959), and the LP Chris Barber's Blues Book (1961); she also appeared on numerous Chris Barber records
