The jazz and blues singer Ida Cox was born in 1896 in Toccoa, GA. By the 1910s she was performing in minstrel shows throughout the South and by 1920 appearing alongside Jelly Roll Morton at the 81 Theater in Atlanta. She recorded dozens of sides in the 1920s for Paramount, performed at Carnegie Hall in 1940, and performed on record with Charlie Christian and Lionel Hampton in the 1940s. All of which is to say that, by the time she cut this LP with the Coleman Hawkins Quintet in 1961, she had already achieved the status of “legend”. This record turned out to be her final artistic statement, and what a way to go. An absolutely stunning collection of blues and jazz, Blues For Rampart Street inspired many of the artists of the ‘60s folk revival, including Barbara Dane.
