The Scottish singer Annie Ross who carved a space in the heart of New York’s jazz scene has died in the city at 89.

As a kid she appeared with Judy Garland, as an adult with Satchmo and Count Basie.

She had flings with Kenny Clarke and Lenny Bruce. Not many could claim those elusive scalps.

    Born in England, but a proud Scot all the way. Annie Ross was England and Scotland’s greatest jazz singer.
