Cora "Lovie" Austin
Cora was a Chicago band leader, session musician, composer, singer and arranger during the 1920's classic blues era. She and Lil' Hardin Armstrong are often ranked as two of the best female, jazz, blues piano players of the period. She is buried at Mt. Glenwood Memory Gardens in Glenwood, IL
Details of a headstone dedication will be announced soon!
