Billie Rogers, originally Zelda Louise Smith, was a pioneering American jazz trumpeter and singer born on May 31, 1917, in North Plains, Oregon. Known for breaking barriers for female instrumentalists in big bands, especially during her tenure with Woody Herman from 1941 to 1943, she was raised in a musical family and learned trumpet at a young age. Despite the challenges faced as a female musician, she led her own band, worked with prominent orchestras, and contributed significantly to the jazz scene before retiring in the 1950s.
