Sloane became interested in jazz listening to the radio as a teenager and started performing with a big band at age 14. She then joined Larry Elgart's orchestra in 1958 where she toured across the US and occasionally recorded. A performance at the 1961 Newport Jazz Festival was heard by Columbia Records who signed her to a contract the same year.
