Big band jazz has always been shaped by extraordinary women as composers, arrangers, instrumentalists, and bandleaders, even when their contributions haven’t always been given the spotlight.
Women & Big Band celebrates the powerful legacy and ongoing influence of women in large-ensemble jazz. Featuring music by trailblazers such as Melba Liston, Mary Lou Williams, and Toshiko Akiyoshi, alongside contemporary voices including Kristin Berardi, this program showcases the depth, innovation, and impact of women’s writing and artistry in big band music.
