Correction "Women in Jazz" Program is Tuesday, March 8th
by Jennifer Thomet 01 Mar '22

01 Mar '22

Please excuse this correction. The Interlochen Public Library invites you to celebrate Women's History Month with a Zoom presentation, "Women In Jazz," by Galen Abdur-Razzaq, on Tuesday, March 8, 2022, at 5 pm. Women have been involved in jazz since the early 1920s, not just as vocalists but as instrumentalists, composers, and arrangers. An understanding of jazz would not be complete without highlighting the influence and contributions of women—women such as Bessie Smith, Valaida Snow, Mildred Bailey, Mary Lou Williams, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Sarah Vaughn. The goal is to provide an understanding, particularly of their personal lives, their ability to read music, perform, and survive when jazz was considered "a man's world." It also covers the full spectrum of years, genres, recordings, and recognized achievements. The lecture/performance includes the following: ⮚ The program begins with a brief performance by Galen followed by: ⮚ 60 minutes PowerPoint presentation with samples of artist's music ⮚ Galen performs at certain intervals of the presentation ⮚ 15 minute Q & A Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/6133954178?pwd=NmdIL2ZqNVcyQVNUT2h4SzI0MnJiUT09 -- Interlochen Public Library 9411 Tenth St Interlochen MI 49643 231-276-6767 jthomet(a)tadl.org
