Norma Jean used to play jazz bars in the Detroit area in the 70s doing this
wild echoplexed saxaphone thing - amazing.
Frank Zappa recruited her to work in his band for some time; she also
played with Tommy Bolin and several other rock musicians.
I'd have to think about it for a while to remember where she's popped up,
but she's done studio work in several places.
