History Of Women In Jazz

Women in Jazz Festival

Inspired by Mary Lou Williams (1910-1981), Dr. Billy Taylor (1921-2010) founded the Women in Jazz Festival, held annually at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. "Mary Lou Williams" he explains "set a high standard for Jazz musicians. Composer, pianist, arranger, teacher, music historian, a role model and a humanitarian, she was the quintessential Jazz master. A sensitive, caring, self effacing performing artist, she shared her vast experience and musical skills with fellow artists."

Since 1996, some of Jazz music's most talented players have assembled for the two day event. From the eminent stateswoman of Jazz, Marian McPartland, to female artists who recently arrived on the scene, the Mary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Festival has set the tempo for encore events internationally.

Hosted by Dee Dee Bridgewater, the Mary Lou Williams Jazz Festival markes its 20th thrilling year with two evenings of star-studded performances in the Kennedy Center's Terrace Theater featuring the world's top female Jazz artists. The Washington Post says the festival "speaks volumes about the contributions women have made to Jazz, and continue to make, both here and abroad."

The 2015 Mary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Festival scheduled performing artists are Dee Dee Bridgewater, Ingrid Jensen, Brianna Thomas, Charenee Wade, Sylvia Cuenca, Michele Rosewoman, Catherine Russell and the Ladies Sing the Blues project and many more including some of New York's best vocalists and musicians.

The 2015 Women in Jazz Festival is held May 15 & 16.
