American Voices presents: WOMEN IN JAZZ
A celebration of jazz legends Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Lena Horne, and Billie Holiday
With music provided by Ryan Keberle’s Big Band Living Legacy Project, a 15-piece jazz orchestra, and Adam Birnbaum on piano.
Featuring Lilli Cooper, Maya Days, Hilary Kole, and Madeleine Peyroux
Jazz is considered to be the first art form originated in America. For many of its early decades, while the instruments were usually played by men, the voice of jazz, save for Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra, was that of a woman. Ella, Sarah, Lena, Billie — women so popular in the jazz world you only need to use their first name — represent the very essence of jazz. Join us as four singularly talented women today — Lilli Cooper, Maya Days, Hilary Kole, and Madeleine Peyroux — pay tribute to the legendary women who came before them. An unforgettable night of music and song!
