Born in 29 July 1937, Des Moines, Iowa, USA. Coming from a very musical family, Rucker first took an interest in piano when she was eight years old. Later, she studied classical piano but by the age of 13 her brother had persuaded her to listen to jazz. She began playing clubs and hotels in her home-town area, but it was 1979 before she became a full-time professional musician. By this stage in her career, she had also begun to sing occasionally to her own accompaniment. She released several albums for Capri records. In 1993 she played on the nationally syndicated NPR radio show “Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz.”
She was a longtime performer throughout her home base in Colorado as well as playing on tour in Holland, Ireland, Germany (where she had her own fan club), China and the United States. She had many outstanding accomplishments in her career and is very well known and beloved in the Denver music community. Had she chosen to move to a larger city it’s highly probable she would’ve achieved much greater fame. Her breathy seductive voice was incredibly compelling as well as her prodigious keyboard skills.
Ellyn Rucker on piano and vocals, Red Mitchell on bass, and Marvin „Smitty” Smith on drums
