An overlooked history in jazz – a huge book that not only documents important female-led groups and solo artists in the music, but also focuses on those that were heavily featured in visual media as well! The scope might seem small at first, but the author expands with a voluminous range of artists from the 20s through the 50s – leaders, musicians, and singers who were able to get exposure in film and television that they might not have received otherwise! The book has dozens of black and white photos – many illustrating the visual potential of the artists – and subjects include Hazel Scott, Lena Horne, Peggy Lee, InaRayHutton, Phil Spitalny & His Musical Queens, International Sweethearts Of Rhythm, The Ingenues, Carl Adams, and others. Softcover edition is 316 pages, with black and white photos. Book
Features tracks from Lovie Austin & Her Serenaders, Ida Cox, Alberty Wynn Gutbucket Five, New Orleans Wanderers, Ma Rainey, Memphis Minnie, Mary Lou Williams, InaRayHutton And Her Melodears and much more! LP, Vinyl record album
