I took a class last year on Jazz, Rock, and the Avant Garde, and we talked a lot about really early Jazz. Both Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey were discussed a lot. We also talked about how during WWII, with most of the men gone, all-women jazz bands became very popular. Some groups have carried that tradition on and are still quite active.

Yeah-we learn all about men and women in jazz in our music history classes and what not-so they don't neglect them here at any rate. However-while I'm seeing more women in jazz bands in schools and what not-I still sometimes fell like I'm floating around in a sea of men.
Went to the MMEA convention at the Tantara Resort at the Lake of the Ozarks here in Missouri-and in the jazz band I watched-there were only two girls-one on bass and one on lead alto. It was rather nice to see a girl sax chic playing out though...she kicked some ***.
But yeah-to those who posted those sites-thanks!
Great articles and stuff. 3nodding

You know, I read the History of Jazz this summer, by Ted Goaia, and while did make sure to include a few women, it was almost side notes..Just not to offend anyone or something, but he didn't really make sure it was equally balanced the whole way through. It was a really good book, but with it's faults, that's for sure.
