They're not the first all-female jazz band to perform in the knkx studios, but after hearing the teens from Seattle JazzEd, it's about time it stops feeling like a special occasion.
Featuring their mentor Susan Pascal on vibes, the ladies thrilled our packed studio audience with jazz, soul, and a song by the modern jazz outfit Snarky Puppy, and made us forget about girls vs. boys.
Speaking with these all-stars, it was clear that they're aware of the historic male domination of jazz, but also clear they see a bright future and a nearly unending list of powerful and talented female musicians to inspire them. Now put gender aside and dig into this amazing performance.
