Various Artists - Saga Jazz: Jazzwomen - Great Instrumental Gals (Various Artists) (2003)

The renowned female musicians in this selection are pianists Lil Hardin-Armstrong (second spouse of the great Louis), and Mary Lou Williams. Because, apart from the singing ladies, women in jazz weren’t that many, and even less renowned. We can still recognize vibraphone-player Marjorie Hyams, pianist Beryl Booker, and guitarist Mary Osborne. Many other talents are to be discovered. Who can resist the call of the siren?
