She refers to herself as an “ Afropean ” a person of Black and European Parentage , born and raised in Copenhagen . In her home her ‘ uncles ’ were jazz greats such as Ben Webster , Dexter Gordon , Johnny Griffin , Clark Terry , Kenny Drew , Teddy Wilson and her “ aunts ” were Josephine Baker , Nancy Wilson , Dame Etta Cameron and Eartha Kitt .
The home was always full of stories , music , ancient tales and the mixture of pain and happiness of what mattered for Black lives then . Especially for the Black musicians , who settled down in Europe to live respected careers as the artists they were hailed to contrast with their lives in the US . “ My mother , Rosita Thomas had her family roots in Arkansas and was a fine jazzsinger and with a special talent for soul food ,” and her father , Henrik W . Iversen , former head of DR TV Entertainment & Drama , is still Head of The Ben Webster Foundation , Jazz Radio host and lecturer in jazz ,” she explains .
