[Jennifer Thomet]

Please excuse this correction.

The Interlochen Public Library invites you to celebrate Women's History
Month with a Zoom presentation, "Women In Jazz," by Galen Abdur-Razzaq, on
Tuesday, March 8, 2022, at 5 pm.

Women have been involved in jazz since the early 1920s, not just as
vocalists but as instrumentalists, composers, and arrangers. An
understanding of jazz would not be complete without highlighting the
influence and contributions of women—women such as Bessie Smith,  Valaida
Snow, Mildred Bailey, Mary Lou Williams, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald,
and Sarah  Vaughn.

The goal is to provide an understanding, particularly of their personal
lives, their ability to read music, perform, and survive when jazz was
considered "a man's world." It also covers the full spectrum of years,
genres, recordings, and recognized achievements.
The lecture/performance includes the following:
⮚ The program begins with a brief performance by Galen
followed by:
⮚ 60 minutes PowerPoint presentation with samples of
artist's music
⮚ Galen performs at certain intervals of the presentation
⮚ 15 minute Q & A
