The program on March 7th will feature vocalists Jus' Cynthia and Diva Joan Cartwright, flautist Renee Fiallos and saxophonist Rochelle Frederick, working with a jazz trio, WOMEN IN JAZZ ON TOUR. The general public is invited to fill the 300-seat auditorium at AARLCC, during two, one-hour rehearsal/workshops, where the 7-member ensemble explores the lives of 11 women who brought jazz and blues music to the forefront of American popular culture and around the world. The women they portray include Alberta Hunter, Lil Hardin Armstrong, Marylou Williams, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. Women in Jazz South Florida, Inc. is a non-profit organization that promotes women musicians, globally. Membership forms will be available.
