Cd - Forty Years of Women in Jazz (A Double Disc Feminist Retrospective)

Forty Years of Women In Jazz [Jass]Rating star_rating(7)Release Date 1989Recording Date Apr 1926 - 1954Label Jass RecordsType Instrumental, Various Artists Review by Ron Wynn While the history of female jazz artists still needs extensive documentation, this 1989 two-disc set goes a long way toward correcting oversights, noting and citing pivotal performers and showing that women have occupied roles in the music besides singers. It begins with pianist Lovie Austin and continues to Hazel Scott, with cuts from vital, underrecorded players such as guitarist Mary Osborne, pianist Beryl Booker, and trombonist Melba Liston. Certainly not every worthy female jazz artist could be included on one two-disc sampler, but this 44-cut package ranks as a fine start in documenting contributions from women instrumentalistsTracks Disc 1 Title Performer Time1 Travelling Blues Lovie 2 That Creole Band Wynn 3 When the Levee Breaks Memphis Minnie 4 Night Life Williams 5 Zonky Six Men And A Girl 6 Wild Party Hutton 7 It's Murder Armstrong 8 (You Bring Out) The Savage in Me Mason, Snow 9 Sweet Georgia Brown International Sweethearts Of Rhythm 10 Tuxedo Junction International Sweethearts Of Rhythm 11 Rose Room Osborne 12 Anything You Can Do Cats Vs.
