Guest Bill Barton Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Or, Reptet's Samantha Boshnack- fine trumpet and fine arrangements, too! In particular, her solo on Harpo from Reptet's "Do This!" always gets me. :rsmile: As mentioned earlier, Mary Halvorson (Dragon's Head is fantastic), and Ingrid Jensen. A big to the mention of Samantha, who is a hell of a writer too. Some of the projects she's involved with outside Reptet make it clear that she's a remarkably versatile player as well.

Д.Д. Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Joelle Leandre, probably the most interesting improv bassist today (only Barre Phillips is in the same league, IMHO). Lotte Anker and Co Strieff are both very interesting saxophonists. India Cooke is quite an original on violin. I wonder if she is still active. Quite a few females in the London improv scene (well represented on EMANEM label). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikelz777 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Not yet mentioned, pianist Cecilia Coleman. Also, Blossom Dearie Jutta Hipp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Lorraine Geller was mentioned back when - just thought I'd mention her again. She could play. And whatever opinions some might have about singers, Billie's singing sounded more like a jazz musician than many jazz musicians' playing does.

carnivore Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 If we're staying away from vocalists, here are some previously unmentioned female jazz musicians (that I think are better than Diana Krall): Emily Remler Cindy Blackman Sylvie Courvoisier Susie Ibarra Jenny Scheinman Jutta Hipp Anat Cohen oh yeah, and: Ruby Braff Tina Brooks Gigi Gryce Valery Ponomarev I always liked Sal Nistico and Jackie McLean too. Oh and Clare Fischer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I have a soft spot for Betty Glamann and Carol Kaye! A couple of French jazz ladies: Sophia Domancich and Hélène Labarrière! In my youth I also heard pianist Yvonne Blanc but don't have a soft spot for her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B. Goren. Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Francesca Tanksley can play. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&a...10:09fqxqyaldse Francesca Tanksley is a great pianist. Few years ago I had the pleasure to see her playing with Billy Harper 5tet. Do you know if she has reorded anything else as a leader?

six string Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Pianist Jessica Williams, rather overlooked in my view (I now see that RDK mentioned her near the beginning) . I'd just dropped back into this thread to make sure Jessica had been mentioned. I grew up beneath her piano at the old Keystone Korner in San Francisco, where she was "house pianist" for quite some time. One of the greatest pianists alive today imo. I just got her new cd, a tribute to John Coltrane with her current trio of Dave Captein and Mel Brown and it is superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I'm a big fan of Aurora Nealand, a New Orleans saxophonist who plays all kinds of jazz and other music. I've heard her most often with the Panorama Jazz Band, one of my favorite N.O. bands, but she has recently formed her own trad jazz band, The Royal Roses, and plays with the avant-garde free improvisers in the city. She hasn't recorded much so far - the only albums I know about are Come Out Swinging by the Panorama Jazz Band, 17 Days by the Panorama Brass Band, and one track on Tom McDermott's New Orleans Duets.
