A legendary figure in New Orleans jazz, the singer Germaine Potter Bazzle (born March 28, 1932 in New Orleans) has never achieved commensurate recognition nationally and internationally. Her distinctive voice may be considered a jazz counterpart to the better known R&B artist Irma Thomas. Bazzle's parents were both piano players. After completing her studies at the Xavier University of Louisiana , she worked as a teacher, primarily of young girls in choir and music appreciation at Xavier Prep., in addition to playing bass in traditional jazz bands.
