Ottilie Patterson - My Name Is Ottilie: An Ottilie Patterson Anthology (Remastered) (2024) [Hi-Res]

One night in 1959, a 27-year-old female singer took to the stage in front of an audience at Smitty’s Corner, Muddy Water’s renowned blues club in Chicago’s South Side. After her stunning performance, a member of the rapturous black audience called out – “Hey lady, you sing real pretty. How come you sing like one of us?”

The singer’s name was Ottilie Patterson. And she wasn’t black. She wasn’t even American. She was from Comber, in County Down, Northern Ireland, just ten miles from Belfast.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Ottilie Patterson was the rising star of British jazz and blues music. As an acclaimed singer with the Chris Barber Band, she and the band were at the forefront of the Trad Jazz scene packing out jazz clubs all around Britain, and relentlessly touring Europe and America.

Together Ottilie and Chris paved the way for bands such as The Rolling Stones and The Pretty Things, inspiring their passion for American blues music, and they played a pioneering role in the development of British rhythm and blues music.
