The daughter of bandleader Leslie ‘Jiver’ Hutchinson, Elaine began singing with her father’s band at the age of sixteen and has since built up a well-deserved reputation as a consummate professional. Her stellar career stretches back to the 1960s when she recorded various albums for one of her early champions, producer Denis Preston of Lansdowne Records. The first was an EP titled A Swinging Chick featuring the wonderful talent of Victor Feldman. Her career has included stage performances in London’s West End, on New York’s Broadway, and on film (Ken Russell’s Mahler ). Elaine’s popular appearances at the world-famous Ronnie Scott’s Club in London have shown her to be remarkably adaptable in a jazz setting, having worked there at different times with such jazz giants as Herb Ellis, Benny Carter and Stephane Grappelli.
