A vocalist who mixed classic blues elements with traditional jazz. She studied piano in Tacoma, then played in night clubs throughout the Northwest. During the mid-'40s, Austin sang in the Midwest. She recorded with Turk Murphy in the early and mid-'50s, and led an all-star group in 1955 and 1956. Austin recorded again for the GHB label in 1966. ~ Ron Wynn https://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/sings-the-blues/585963567

The history of jazz and blues is full of talented artists who were obscure but didn't deserve to be. One example is Claire Austin, an expressive jazz/blues vocalist who was as proficient with intimate, introspective torch singing as she was with more extroverted classic blues. Claire Austin Sings When Your Lover Has Gone was recorded for Contemporary in 1955 and 1956, and finds Austin favoring vulnerable, relaxed, subtle torch singing (her phrasing could be described as an appealing combination of Mildred Bailey, Peggy Lee, and Billie Holiday). As a torch singer, she embraces the songbooks of great pop composers like Harold Arlen, Cole Porter, and the Gershwin Brothers.
