The Girls in the Band
Women vocalists and pianists have long been excluded in jazz. Women trumpeters, saxophonists, and drummers battled for fame but were denied serious employment by men who didn't want women on their bandstands. From the early days of all-girl bands to the present day, where brilliantly gifted young women are competing with the best jazz musicians of their time, this film examines the history of all-girl ensembles.
