This channel is dedicated to the late Shirley McFatter, crowned at her passing as Dallas' Queen of Jazz. While she worked with many internationally known jazz musicians in local Dallas venues, she chose to perform mainly in live gigs around Dallas Fort Worth.
She gained a huge following locally, both in clubs, concerts and as a stage actress, and was a 'force of nature' in promoting jazz and educating youth to America's Classical music, JAZZ!

    Shirley had the voice to accompany a big band, but the opportunities were few and far between.
