And in today's episode we show you some of the leading examples today. 

We end our season ten with host Joan Watson Jones look into some of Jazz’s unsung heroes.  Women representing a wide range of ethnic and social backgrounds have always been vital to the jazz community.  With that said, most folks focus on the jazz vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughn.  

In this Jazz Room we look to the women as instrumentalists and largely from current times including Carol Sudhalter, Linda Presgrave, Jan Lear, Marion McPartland, Shirley Horn (yes, she is a piano player of renown) and Emily Remler plus a host of their male counterparts. Join us once again in The Jazz Room!
