Something which doesn't get much talk, but what are some of your favorite women jazz musicians? Renne Rosnes no doubt is one of my favs. Anyone else I should be looking into?

Great thread Tom.
Apart from the obvious ones there is Mary Lou Williams, a great jazz composer and pianist who helped shape the Kansas City sound.
Here's several of her arrangements

Re jazz in Britain today, Allison Neale is someone to look out for, particularly if you like cool sounds. This clip also gives you the opportunity to hear the excellent work of Matt Home on drums and Dave Cliff on guitar, among the best on their instruments in this country today IMHO. link |

Pianist Francesca Tanksley who has played with tenor sax man Billy Harper is definitely up to the task.

Some of my favorite current jazz players are women. I highly recommend…
Melissa Aldana, Tenor saxophonist (from Chile),
Magos Herrera, vocalist (from Mexico),
Simona Premazzi, pianist (from Italy),
Barbara Dennerlein, organ (from Germany), and
Frederika Krier, violinist (from Austria, I believe).

Decades back there was a book by Sally Placksin entilted Jazz Women: 1900 To The Present. I'll have to look it out but was the first "serious" attempt at this subject and got good press. I guess it's long since been superseded by something better.

Barbara Dennerlein, organ (from Germany), and Frederika Krier, violinist (from Austria, I believe). Barbara Dennerlein does some of the best pedal work I've ever seen on the B-3! linkAny recommended albums/tracks Herb or KH??? |

Most of Barbara Dennerlein's recordings are on her own label (Bebab), and these recordings are available in the U.S. from cdbaby.com. She plays in a couple of different formats--the traditional jazz organ group format (Take Off! is a good illustration, or Junkanoo), and she plays solo (sometimes duo), sometimes on massive classical organs. Good examples of the latter style are Solo, In a Silent Mood, Spiritual Movement No. 2, and Spiritual Movement No. 3.

Beryl Booker: 1946-54 Beryl Booker - a self-taught pianist and singer who today is largely unknown or has been forgotten. Booker played with a large number of male jazz stars in the late 1940s and early 1950s and led her own small groups. Her discography runs from 1946 to 1954, gigging extensively through 1959 and disappearing until the 1970s. Her recordings include dates with Don Byas, Tony Scott, Count Basie, Dinah Washington, Slam Stewart, Don Elliott, Budd Johnson, Oscar Pettiford, Miles Davis, Chuck Wayne, Clark Terry, Russell Procope, Jimmy Cobb and Billie Holiday.  |
