INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 24 HOURS NON-STOP
March 8 marks International Women’s Day, and Stingray DJAZZ spotlights women in jazz. Enjoy 24 hours non-stop concerts and clips from lady jazz musicians! When considering women in jazz and related styles, some names just cannot be missed. For one, think of Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul: her “RESPECT” has become an anthem for feminism and civil rights. Similarly, the likes of Beth Hart, Nina Simone, Rhoda Scott, and Ella Fitzgerald ply their craft on Stingray DJAZZ today. Moreover, Stingray DJAZZ is pleased to introduce a number of upcoming female musicians from international contemporary jazz, including the all-female Latin group Ladama, the amazing American vocalist/cellist Eleanor Dubinsky, and the Greek band Banda Magda led by singer, accordionist and composer Magda Giannikou. Appreciate these ladies’ impact on the genre on March 8 – all day long on Stingray DJAZZ!
