Lena Wilson (1898 - 1939)
was an American blues singer.
Wilson's major recordings were cut in 1922-1924 and in 1930. She was accompanied by Perry Bradford's Jazz Phools, Conaway's Rag Pickers, Johnny Dunn's Jazz Hounds, Fletcher Henderson, and The Nubian Five. Additionally, she recorded under her own name with an ensemble called the Jazz Hounds, featuring Gus Aiken on trumpet, Garvin Bushell on clarinet, Herb Fleming on trombone, John Mitchell on banjo, and Porter Grainger and Cliff Jackson on piano. She sang with brother Danny Wilson, and together with Danny's wife Edith Wilson they sometimes performed as a trio.
Wilson sang in many Harlem musical revues throughout the 1920s. She married violinist Shrimp Jones in the 1930s, and remained a regular performer in New York City into the mid-1930s.
