She found work with Pony Poindexter and later performed with Charles Mingus, Herbie Mann, Stan Getz, Roland Kirk, Jay Clayton, Charles Lloyd, and Pharoah Sanders.[1]
In the early 1970s, Getz returned to Los Angeles and became a studio musician.

She wrote the title track for the 1973 Jimmie Spheeris album The Original Tap Dancing Kid.[1]
