Women in Jazz

This lecture by Marshall
Tilden will cover women who were an integral part of jazz music as vocalists
before and during the big band era.  Vocalist such as Billie Holiday,
Ella Fitzgerald, Carmen McRae and Sarah Vaughan in their early careers
separated themselves from the big bands and led successful careers on their
own.  Later successes of women jazz musicians started with the piano
and led into other instruments which will be covered.    Live
and recorded music will enhance this lecture.  This program is celebrating
March’s Women’s History Month.  Marshall Tilden is a jazz musician and taught at
Westchester Community College, Scarsdale Adult Education and Yonkers Public
Library.  He gives presentations
and performs throughout
Westchester.
