Merit Hemmingson once described herself as a "music freak from the day she was born"
She was tutored at the piano from both Joe Zawinul and Lalo Shifrin.
She formed a band in the US with four black female jazz musicians, alto-sax, trumpet, bass and drums and Merit on the piano.
Merit left the jazz scene and found her real big "Love" the Hammond B3 organ ... she started the group Meritones, with which she made her first album in 1967.
