She was a saxophonist in Marvin Gaye's touring band in the last few years of his life. Following this she played with Roy Ayers, Andrew Cyrille, and Charlie Persip, and worked with a new ensemble under her own direction, "Winds of Change".[2][3] From 1986 to 1988 she accompanied James "Blood" Ulmer on tour, then appeared on Calvin Weston's 1989 album Dance Romance.
