But then she does talk about how she met him when she was a teenager growing up in Los Angeles. She had been a music student attending a jam session at the Dixie Club in 1951 and the musicians including Coleman were members of R&B singer Pee Wee Crayton’s band visiting from Texas where Coleman is from. “We stayed in touch” Cortez says. “Then rnette returned to California in 1954 and we got married.
