Sweet Emma Barrett (March 25, 1897, New Orleans, Louisiana -- January 28, 1983) was a self-taught jazz pianist and singer. She was at her most powerful in the early 1960s and became an iconic figure with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
You can hear in Sweet Emma Barrett singing she was a strong will hard living blues singer from the good old New Orleans days.By the way she made a cameo in the Steve McQueen movie Cincinnati Kid.
I heard Sweet Emma at Preservation Hall on my honeymoon to New Orleans on about Janurary 12, 1983. I didn't realize that she died shortly thereafter! She was a tiny thing, all bent over the piano--but what a powerhouse! I'll never forget her!
