Some records of famous women in jazz
Although they have not in general gained such great names for themselves in the world of jazz as men, women have made no mean contribution to rhythm, harmony, and swing. While some women run their own dance bands-Ina Ray Hutton and her Melodears is an outstanding example of this-it is generally in solo virtuosity that the woman jazz expert excels. What lover of jazz, for example, has not thrilled to hear Connie Boswell sing, or has forgotten the ' torchy ' tones of the late Bessie Smith ? In this programme you will hear both these artists, as well as many others who have enriched the realm of jazz.
