Women of Jazz
Joni Mitchell Retrospective
Women of Jazz
Women of Jazz celebrates the contribution of women throughout the many eras of jazz history, from the mothers of jazz to the current Grammy winners and nominees!
Although jazz is known as cool, avant-garde, improvisational, and touted for the freedom it permits its players. Surprisingly, jazz has been slow to embrace women musicians. While women were famous for their singing, they achieved much less recognition for their contributions as composers, songwriters, bandleaders, instrumentalists' producers and directors.
Today’s women of jazz are part of the continuing evolution of empowerment, and indications are, the journey isn’t over. The musicians and songs curated for this performance tell the story of this evolution and journey of empowerment and the gift we all receive as a result.
