Women in Jazz
At the beginning of the century, women took the secular involvement
with music out of the home: they became
professional musicians, and started playing instruments that weren’t
necessarily considered “appropriate” for women.
Their journey was long with no official regordings that can prove that that
women have played their “chops” for more
than a century Moreover, they don’t know that behind the success of
a “hit song” there was often a woman, one who
has composed, penned, arranged and played. A woman that could sit on any jam
session and hold her own.Grammy Award winner Patrice Rushen, Terri Lyne Carrington,
take us into the world of extraordinary jazz musicians today that
happen to be women.
