Jeanne Trevor (died 24 October 2022) was an American vocalist known as the "First Lady of St. Louis Jazz". Originally from Harlem, New York City, she moved to St. Louis in the early 1960s to perform in the Gaslight Square district. She played most of the district's top jazz clubs and recorded several singles. Despite being well-known for her jazz work, she preferred not to classify herself as a jazz vocalist: her other influences included opera, gospel, and R&B. In the 1970s, she was part of the internationally-touring St. Louis Jazz Quartet. She appeared in 22 musical productions at The Muny between 1986 and 2011. She was given a Lifetime Achievement Award at Grand Center's Annual Visionary Awards in 2006. She died on October 24, 2022 in Ferguson, Missouri at the age of 84. She remained relatively unknown outside of St. Louis.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]
