I wonder why it is that these days women jazz singers seem to outnumber the men by about a hundred to one?
Jazz seems to be much slower than other types of music at embracing equality. The average classical orchestra will have a far higher proportion of women than a big band or jazz group.
After 100 years of jazz, female instrumentalists are still very rare and I think that jazz musicians (and audiences) are responsible for that.
I enjoyed your piece on women jazz singers for Women’s Day.

A well written piece, thanks Ann

Thanks to Fran and Liz for the kind comments.
Lance, it may be because women tend to be associated with love songs more than men are.
Blue, the lack of women instrumentalists is the same as in rock music, but there are now lots of female instrumentalists in folk music. As for equality I feel very well treated as an audience member, and I've mainly been with women for my singing, and don't know what it's like to be a woman instrumentalist. I don't think I'd cut the mustard with my penny whistle, with either men or women!
