Jazz90.1 is proud to salute influential women in jazz during Women’s History Month in March.
In celebration of Women’s History Month, Jazz90.1 FM will honor a different female jazz musician each day Monday through Friday. A biographical vignette will be broadcast four times each day at 7:30 a.m. 12:30, 4:30, and 8:30 p.m.
Each vignette will be followed by a selection of that artist’s music. The artists selected represent a variety of instruments, ages, and levels of achievement, but each has a story to tell and each has contributed significantly to the growth and enhancement of jazz music. Jazz90.1 hopes listeners will take this opportunity to learn more about and recognize the significant contributions of individual female jazz musicians.
