Here is a brief post to brighten up this very gloomy and rainy Monday morning in Charleston, South Carolina. It is a short list and it comes with apologies to the many amazing female jazz artists around the globe whose names I have not included.
Toshiko Akiyoshi
Geri Allen
Lil Hardin Armstrong
Carla Bley
Barbara Carroll
Alice Coltrane
Eliane Elias
Marian McPartland
Terry Pollard
Zoe Rahman
Diane Schuur
Helen Sung
Kate Williams
Mary Lou Williams
Katherine Windfield
In the above list you will find, not only fine pianists, but composers, arrangers and ensemble leaders. Enjoy finding their recordings, and listening to their styles. And, please leave names of your favorite female jazz pianists, that I have not listed, in the comments.
