“Women in Jazz” This Listening Post looks at women in Jazz. It has always been a battle for women to enter into or excel in fields that were dominated by men. Music was no exception. Although women were being accepted in other artistic fields, they faced a male chauvinism in the field of music, in the early years of Jazz. Here we look at some of the women who made a foray into, and then stormed the bastion of the jazz world. Women who were as brilliant in their singing as they were in their song writing or even as instrumentalists in the field of Jazz. Presented by Shakila Kundu, Jazz-Lover, Singer, HWMF-Executive-Committee-Member Listening Post : Pure listening to Classical and Jazz music recordings with visual aids, notes, Q/A-session, discussion.
