If you're talking about bootleg CD Diamonds in the Mine Field recorded live in Montreux Jazz Festival (1985), it's Anjani.

Heh, she was, I guess, less than ten years old then:-)

Background vocals on that record, Songs of Love and Hate, were Susan Mussamono (Famous Blue Raincoat, Diamonds In The Mine), and Corlynn Hanney (Diamonds in the Mine).

I did think that - she would've been young - but strangely it does sound a bit like Anjani on Last Years Man and Dress Rehearsal Rag ????
