Here we have a lady singer that I have not heard of and unfortunately this seems to be the only studio L/P (Album) that she has recorded...which is a pity I would have liked to hear more of her there is some great Piano playing from Carl Arter and this is a A1 set of songs !....So here is some Info about this Fab singer !!
Tiny Irvin is a native Pittsburgh who is a quiet, private person, who loves people and always tries to be happy. Tiny has sung with Sammy Davis, Jr., Carmen McRae, Dean Martin, Sarah Vaughn, Dizzy Gillespie and Betty Bebop Carter.
Tiny had impeccable tone and phrasing, with a lot of blues feeling and swing. She was a great scat singer too. Fans of Ella Fitzgerald, Betty Carter, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughn will hear their influences in Tiny's singing, but she was no copyist, she had a distinctive style of her own.
Since the mid 1960s Tiny has worked regularly with Carl Arter, who has been her bandleader, arranger, and mentor.
With pianist Carl Arter, Tiny has been the star attraction at Eileen's Zebra Room in Pittsburgh for five years on weekends.
Tiny made her only recording, accompanied by the Carl Arter Trio, for Earwig Music Company in 1982. She retired from singing in the late 1980s.
