About

From the Jim Crow era-South through the turbulent 1960s, Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday and Nina Simone were among the most influential and popular singers of their times. These trailblazing singers spoke to and for the disenfranchised as women, African Americans, and artists.

Pioneering Women in Jazz features three dynamic vocalists, each a rising star in her own right: Charenée Wade, Tahira Clayton, and Vanisha Gould, who will celebrate the enduring legacies of these iconic women and artists.
