Women In Jazz

For the most part of Jazz history, women were an integral part of this music as vocalists before and during the big band era. Vocalist such as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Carmen McRae and Sarah Vaughan in their early careers separated themselves from the big bands and led successful careers on their own. Later successes of women jazz musicians started with the piano and led into other instruments which will be covered. This program is celebrating March’s Women’s History Month.
