Late in the 1970s she began working with trumpeter Manny Duran, and the two together co-led a band which recorded for Stash Records. She also provided the vocals to the ending theme, "Can't Say Goodbye to Yesterday" (composed by Rika Muranaka), for the video game Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.
She was noted for her scat singing abilities.
