LESBIAN PORTRETS (9) Trumpet Player, Tiny Davis



During the 1930s, the multi-racial, all-woman jazz band The International Sweethearts of Rhythm toured America, to great acclaim.  One of their trumpet players was Tiny Davis, the female...
Louis Armstrong of the time.  When the group disbanded, she formed her own group, Tiny Davis and her Hell-Drivers.  Playing drums, bass and piano in the Hell-Drivers was Ruby Lucas, Tiny's lover.  A documentary was made about the pair in 1986, by which time they'd been together 43 years.
