Burdett has classic Seattle roots. Her father, Vaughn Abbey, played double bass in the Seattle Symphony in the ‘30s and ‘40s, as well as tuba in the Seattle World’s Fair marching band. She studied bass with Leslie “Tiny” Martin, also of the SSO (and the city’s hippest swing band, the Gay Jones Orchestra), and at 14, Burdett was subbing for her dad in the Esquires at the Washington Athletic Club.
