This book delves into the history of the involvement of women in jazz. It covers how women participated in the music as well as in-depth interviews, and also includes a discography of recordings by female artists. "Dahl boldy goes where no man (or woman) has gone before. For people who love jazz...who get bleak when they think of what happened to Billie Holiday, this is their book." - Los Angeles Times Book Review Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Many jazz standards were composed and arranged by women. This book not only tells you the importance of the women but many the colourful details of their experiences in the jazz scene and the wonderful stories bring these women, and the men they played with to life, with all the depth of real people, not just distant gods of jazz.
The book is as fascinating as it is educational. I must say it served as the perfect starting off point as I delved into the lives of many amazing Jazzwomen, but it also was the standard I kept coming back to in writing my report. It is written with a wonderful clarity that is too seldom found in any history texts. It aids understanding as to what happened when and the ways the various movements in Jazz evolved. This is a great introduction to some amazing women and also aided my understanding of one of the main music genres that I love - Jazz - in a more general sense. However, the best part of this book was how much life is brought to the page and the personal details that are so often left out of histories. ( )
