Joan, Thanks for the article on these lovely ladies of song. You are the only person I know that truly keeps the lives of female vocalists, composers and instrumentalists, and others in print. If they send me music, I'll make sure they are featured on my show and other radio shows.

November 2008

Dear Subscriber,

This month will go down in history because Americans came out in huge numbers to elect the first Democratic African American President.  Yes We Did!

Women in Jazz South Florida, Inc. performed for 300+ students at AARLCC. I was joined by seven superb musicians for the first time, since I've been doing the Women in Jazz presentation, in 1997. The 8-member ensemble truly enjoyed working together and I am grateful for them all.

My book tour begins November 8 at BORDERS in Fort Lauderdale! I will perform with pianist Brad Keller on Friday November 7 and with Ben Collier on Saturday, November 8, at CHRISTINE'S RESTAURANT to celebrate the tour.

This month, my guests on MUSICWOMAN LIVE RADIO include folk singer/ composer Kaitlin McGaw and composer/flautist Rubyana. Listen to all the archived shows at  this link.

We encourage you all to become a member of  WOMEN IN JAZZ SOUTH FLORIDA, INC. SHOP for our branded goods at CAFEPRESS and support WOMEN IN JAZZ. Please share this issue with friends and join our network - www.musicwoman.ning.com. Get more information at  our blog and see our ANNOUNCEMENTS.

JAZZ WOMAN

RUBYANA

Rubyana is a jazz fusion flutist, composer/arranger, and prodigy studied at Jilius Hartt, Mannes, and Berklee College of Music. Rubyana performed with major artists and jammed with Jimi Hendrix. She is recognized in the Jazz community as an innovative composer, improviser,  performer and theoretician. Her jazz CDs demonstrate her ability to transcend the boundaries of conventional form. Rubyana's compositions bridge twelve tonality with whole tonal harmonic structures, rhythmic displacement and universal rhythms. Rubyana resides in New York City.

Her music is nominated for several Grammy's this year: Best Jazz CD Jaguar and Best Jazz Single: Motherless Child.

"Music is the geometry of the universe." -- Rubyana
