All-Female Bands Are a Riot! [Mondo Jazz Ep. 82]

As much as we favor a complete integration of the jazz sexes, this week we feature twenty-four bands or projects with not a single man in sight, actually in hearing. After all, how much jazz radio have you listened to (not on Mondo Jazz) with playlists made exclusively of all male bands? Here's a small contribution to rebalancing that statistical abherration. The playlist features Rhoda Scott's Lady Quartet, Nérija, Irène Schweizer, Co Streiff, Marilyn Mazur's Shamania, Terri Lyne Carrington, Aki Takase, Silke Eberhard, Anna Högberg Attack, Maggie Nicols, Joelle Leandre, Sylvie Courvoisier, Susie Ibarra, Sisters in Jazz, Cæcilie Norby, Jane Bunnett and Maqueque, Monika Herzig, Tia Fuller, Giovani Leonesse, Lioness, Ahn Trio, Minamo, Mary Halvorson, Jessica Pavone, Eve Risser, Kaja Draksler, Susana Santos Silva, Lauren Newton, Hae Voces.
