{"product_id":"9780692543603","title":"Freedom of Expression: Interviews With Women in Jazz","description":"Since the arrival of the 21st century, jazz has evolved into a truly cross-generational, multicultural musical art form that is assimilating an unprecedented array of musical styles and techniques. At the same time, the male-dominated paradigm that has defined the historical narrative of jazz is no more. Women are shaking up the music industry while the general public is becoming much more aware of the contributions female musicians have made to jazz. \u003cp\u003e\"Freedom of Expression: Interviews With Women in Jazz,\" a collection of interviews with 37 female musicians, musicians of all ages, nationalities, and races, and representing nearly every style of jazz one can imagine, provides evidence of this profound evolution. The interviewees, including Terri Lyne Carrington, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Eliane Elias, Carmen Lundy, Anat Cohen, Diane Schuur, and Sherrie Maricle, speak about their earliest experiences playing music, the years of practice required to become a professional musician, and what jazz means in the new millennium. These interviews will inform and inspire both casual and seasoned fans of this music, as well as young musicians taking their first steps in the journey to master their craft. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"At long last, an in-depth recognition of the female contributions to jazz. As Dr. Billy Taylor said about the lack of awareness of female musicians: 'If it isn't written down, it didn't happen.' Now everyone will know that it did happen and continues to happen. What a great gift to the history of women and music.\" - Judy Chaikin, director of \"The Girls in the Band.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe interviewees:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMindi Abair - Saxophones\u003cbr\u003eCheryl Bentyne - Voice\u003cbr\u003eJane Ira Bloom - Soprano Saxophone\u003cbr\u003eSamantha Boshnack - Trumpet\u003cbr\u003eDee Dee Bridgewater - Voice\u003cbr\u003eTerri Lyne Carrington - Drums\u003cbr\u003eSharel Cassity - Saxophones\u003cbr\u003eAnat Cohen - Clarinet, Saxophones\u003cbr\u003eJean Cook - Violin\u003cbr\u003eConnie Crothers - Piano\u003cbr\u003eEliane Elias - Piano, Voice\u003cbr\u003eAyelet Rose Gottlieb - Voice\u003cbr\u003eLenae Harris- Cello\u003cbr\u003eVal Jeanty - Electronics, Percussion\u003cbr\u003eJan Leder - Flute\u003cbr\u003eJennifer Leitham - Double Bass\u003cbr\u003eCarmen Lundy - Voice\u003cbr\u003eSherrie Maricle - Drums\u003cbr\u003eJane Monheit - Voice\u003cbr\u003eJacqui Naylor - Voice\u003cbr\u003eAurora Nealand - Saxophones, Clarinet\u003cbr\u003eIris Ornig - Double Bass\u003cbr\u003eAlisha Pattillo - Tenor Saxophone\u003cbr\u003eRoberta Piket - Piano\u003cbr\u003eCheryl Pyle - Flute\u003cbr\u003eNicole Rampersaud - Trumpet\u003cbr\u003eSofia Rei - Voice\u003cbr\u003ePatrizia Scascitelli - Piano\u003cbr\u003eDiane Schuur - Voice\u003cbr\u003eEllen Seeling - Trumpet\u003cbr\u003eHelen Sung - Piano\u003cbr\u003eJacqui Sutton - Voice\u003cbr\u003eMazz Swift - Violin, Voice\u003cbr\u003eNioka Workman - Cello\u003cbr\u003ePamela York - Piano\u003cbr\u003eBrandee Younger - Harp\u003cbr\u003eMalika Zarra - Voice\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beckeresque Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50080245743856,"sku":"9780692543603","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692543603","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
