Norma Louise Teagarden (April 28, 1911 – June 6, 1996) was a jazz pianist.
She was born in Vernon, Texas, into a musical family that consisted of her mother Helen, who played ragtime piano and taught; her brothers Charlie, a trumpeter, Clois, a drummer, and Jack, a trombonist. She performed with Jack Teagarden in the 1940s and 1950s.[1]
She performed on piano and violin during the early part of her career, which began in Oklahoma City. In the 1920s she moved to New Mexico and worked in territory bands, returned to Oklahoma City in the 1930s, and then moved to California in the 1940s. She toured with her brother Jack from 1944–1947 and from 1952–1955.[1]
Outside the Teagarden family, she worked with Ben Pollack, Matty Matlock, and Ray Bauduc. She eventually settled in San Francisco, where she often performed on solo piano and with bandleader Turk Murphy.[1]
