16.01.2022 "Female musicians are still facing old-fashioned ideas, even in 2019. The great jazz trumpeter Ingrid Jensen had an audience member wonder if her performance wa...s prerecorded because he didnt know women could play that well. A trombonist wondered aloud how many male trombonists Sara Jacovino jumped over to get her chair on King Kong. Trombonist Natalie Cressman shared on social media that people were claiming she only got the gig in Trey Anastasios band because of how she looked. Then there is the old chestnut implying some women give sexual favors in return for gigs. These stories are not unique. Every woman I know has them, but we learn to sweep them under the rug as if this (sometimes) unintentional needling was the price to pay for being female." See more

01.01.2022 The International Sweethearts of Rhythm was the first integrated all womens band in the United States. The original members met at Piney Woods Country Life Sch...ool, a school for African American children, in Mississippi in 1938. Three years later, two white musicians were brought into the group, and the 17-piece band toured extensively for a decade, including a six-month European tour playing for American soldiers. Here they are performing Jump Children in 1946 with Anna Mae Winburn leading the band and Vi Burnside on the saxophone solo. See more
