Known as the queen of the organ, Shirley Scott was a beloved figure of the Philadelphia jazz scene, pioneering infectious soul-jazz grooves in the 1950s, '60s and '70s, leading her own band and releasing over 50 albums.

Shirley has been connected with the music world for all of her working life. She took singing lessons privately and sang in several London church choirs before moving to the Midlands in the mid-1980s. She spent over 20 years working on music programmes for BBC Radio; in her last 10 years there, she was a religious programmes producer specialising in music and worship, and gained a reputation for creative programming and attention to detail.
After leaving the BBC, Shirley and her husband David created Peartree Productions, a successful independent production house that made programmes for the BBC, and produced music CDs – including Ex Cathedra’s Christmas Music by Candlelight in 2002. Peartree Productions wound down when David retired.
Shirley has also worked in events management and concert promotion, and runs a small music management business, representing the distinguished lutenist David Miller.
